Keto Panda Express Chicken
Ingredients:
Chicken
- 1 lb Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 cup unflavored whey protein powder
Sauce
- 1/2 cup SF Orange Marmelade
- 1/2 cup Soy Sauce
- 1/2 cup Monkfruit Sweetener
- 1 tsp Ginger Powder
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tbsp chili paste
- 1 tbsp Water
Directions
- Cut small bite-sized pieces of boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 1 pound; I had 6 thighs in my package). Mix them with one egg, a tablespoon of garlic powder, a teaspoon of salt, and a teaspoon of pepper. Add one tablespoon of any kind of milk.
- Add about one cup of whey protein powder (UNFLAVORED, not natural, people) and mix it around to coat the chicken. I GRADUALLY added the protein powder as I mixed and the powder settled/got stuck to the bottom or side, so this step is dependent on how it sticks to the http://chicken.you could likely use less for sure. There just needs to be some sprinkled on the chicken for there to be a crunch. It shouldn’t be a sludge-like batter though. Like a wet dusting, if that makes sense.
- Drop the “battered” chicken one piece at a time in hot oil (375 degrees) – cook for at least 3 minutes, but just take it out when it’s crispy enough for you.
- While the chicken is cooking, heat a skillet on low and mix equal parts sugar free orange marmalade, soy sauce, & monkfruit sweetener. Then add ginger powder, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper to taste. Stir the sauce and then add a tablespoon of water because it thickens fast.
- Take the chicken out and put it in a bowl. Pour the sauce over it and then place another bowl on top and shake it.
- Serve with a side of steamed broccoli.
