Mock-Honey Garlic Collagen Chicken with Cauliflower Rice
The problem with Chinese takeout in America is that it's laden with LOTS of sugar, sodium, calories, carbs, msg and processed flours. By making just a few modifications to the traditional recipe with alternative nutrient-rich or ingredients we get a recipe that is DELICIOUS, simple, satisfies that sweet and savory tooth, and keeps potential bloating at bay.
1lbChicken Breast , boneless and skinless (2 pieces, cubed)
1-2tbspAlmond Flour
2.5tbspExtra Virgin Olive Oil Or Grassfed Butter (or a combination of both)
2-4clovesGarlic, minced
1.5tbspApple Cider Vinegar (or white or other clear vinegar)
3-4tbspCoconut Aminos (lower sodium and non-msg substitute for soy sauce)
3tbspSwerve, Stevia or Monk Fruit
1-2tspPink Himalayan Salt & Fresh Ground Pepper
*optional heat- 1-2 TBSP red pepper flakes
Instructions
Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper, dust with Collagen & Almond Flour (see tips below)
With a medium/high heat pan add EVOO or butter, sear chicken for 1 min each side.
Reduce to medium heat and add garlic, vinegar, coconut Aminos, alternative sweetener.
Simmer on Medium for 7-10 minutes. Turn chicken often to coat in the amazing Mock-honey garlic sauce. And THAT’S IT!
Pair it with some quick Cauliflower Rice in on the stovetop or microwave.
Enjoy!
Notes
SUPER important recipe note. Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl. Dry and spread the Chicken Cubes out onto Parchment Paper, dust, flip and dust the other side of chicken with the dry ingredients.
Don’t toss all the chicken in a bowl like you would with traditional flours (if you do, you will end up with a sticky, globby mess)
Be careful not to overcook. If you heat the chicken too quickly it will become tough or rubbery before the sauce thickens.
Because this is Mock Honey, you may be expecting a super sweet dish. While this is sweet, it’s not sticky sweet. It gives you the familiar flavor, without the 100g of sugar. So, if you need it just a bit sweeter, start with adding a bit of salt, taste it and if you still need it sweeter, you may want to adjust the alternative sweetener until your individual palate is satisfied.
