Ingredients

• Chicken breast - 300 grams, cubed
• Coconut flour - 3 tablespoons
• Egg - 1, beaten
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Red bell pepper - 1, diced
• Green bell pepper - 1, diced
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Soy sauce (low sodium) - 2 tablespoons
• Apple cider vinegar - 2 tablespoons
• Erythritol - 2 tablespoons

• Green onions - 2, chopped (for garnish)

Steps

1. In a bowl, coat the cubed chicken breast with coconut flour, salt, and black pepper.
2. Dip the chicken pieces into the beaten egg, ensuring they are fully coated.
3. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the garlic, ginger, and diced bell peppers for 3-4 minutes until tender.
5. In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, erythritol, and sesame oil to create the sweet and sour sauce.
6. Return the chicken to the skillet and pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through and well-coated.
7. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions.
