General Tso's Chicken and Cauliflower Rice






Ingredients:
 
Chicken:
  • 2-3 large chicken breasts
  • 2 cups pork crumbs
  • 2/3 cup almond flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
Sauce:
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons reduced sugar ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons swerve
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 teaspoon red chili paste
  • 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees
  • Mix pork rind crumbs and almond flour together
  • In a separate bowl mix the 2 eggs for dipping the chicken in
  • Cut chicken breasts into cubes
  • Dip the chicken in the egg, then pork rind/almond flour mixture and set aside
  • Heat olive oil and pan fry dipped chicken on each side until golden brown, do not cook all the way through
  • Once done, transfer onto 9x13 baking dish - and spray with non stick spray before
  • For the sauce - mix all the ingredients until well combined, cover the chicken with all the sauce.
  • Place the chicken in the oven for 1 hour * Every 15 minutes you will need to flip the chicken. At the end the sauce should be absorbed in the chicken
Cauliflower Rice:
  • I purchased the pre diced cauliflower rice (frozen) that already had the veggies in it - Take the cauliflower rice and add sesame oil and soy sauce (to taste) and fry in a pan.
  • Serve under the chicken and enjoy!
*With my ingredients per 1/4 of the chicken and "rice" I used it came out to be 5 net carbs per bowl. Carb count is subject to change with your own ingredients.
