Sauce
- In a small bowl, whisk together brown sugar substitute, xanthan gum, and crushed pepper flakes. Make sure the xanthan gum is well distributed in the mixture, to prevent clumping in the sauce.
- Add this mixture to a medium saucepan, along with remaining sauce ingredients. Whisk until smooth.
- Heat over medium, simmer until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat, set aside while you cook the chicken.
Chicken
- In a large nonstick pan, saute chicken in olive oil until browned on all sides.
- Add broccoli to the pan, continue cooking until broccoli is heated through and chicken is fully cooked.
- Add sauce to the pan, allow to heat through.
- Serve immediately, sprinkled generously with sesame seeds.
Notes
11.5 grams of carbs per serving come from erythritol. Add that to the 6 grams of fiber, and you're deducing 17.5 grams from the 25 grams per serving, for a total of 7.5 net grams of carbs per serving.
This is assuming you're not battering and frying the chicken.
