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

  1. Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Coat chicken pieces with 3 Tbsp of cornstarch.
  2. 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.)
  3. 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.
  4. Cook chicken until it is no longer pink, and is lightly brown on both sides. 
  5. 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.
  6. Pour sauce over cooked chicken pieces. Toss chicken in sauce until well coated.  Cook on low until sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes. 
  7. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. 
  8. Serve with your favorite steamed vegetable and rice, for addtional points.
