Ingredients
- 1 lb. raw, skinless, boneless chicken tenderloins, cut into 1-inch pieces
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 1/4 Tbsp canola oil
- 4 Tbsp cornstarch, divided
- 2 Tbsp Heinz or G Hughes no sugar added ketchup
- 2 Tbsp white distilled vinegar
- 4 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tsp minced garlic (2 cloves)
- 1/4 cup zero point white or brown granulated sugar substitute ( I use Lakanto Classic or Golden Monk Fruit Sweetener)
- 3 Tbsp honey
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tsp sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
-
- Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Coat chicken pieces with 3 Tbsp of cornstarch.
- Spray a large skillet or wok with non stick cooking spray. ( Since you will only be using 1 and 1/4 Tbsp-I like to still spray the pan or wok with non stick cooking spray-so the chicken doesn’t stick.)
- Heat oil over medium high heat and place chicken pieces in heated wok. Note: Be careful the oil is hot and can splash up and burn you.
- Cook chicken until it is no longer pink, and is lightly brown on both sides.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together honey, 1 Tbsp cornstarch, sugar substitute, garlic, no sugar added ketchup, soy sauce, and vinegar. Bring sauce to a boil and then let it simmer until sauce thickens.
- Pour sauce over cooked chicken pieces. Toss chicken in sauce until well coated. Â Cook on low until sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
- Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
- Serve with your favorite steamed vegetable and rice, for addtional points.
