For the Chicken
- 3/4 pound boneless skinless chicken breast
- 66666667/100000000 cup almond flour (or 1/3 cup all purpose flour + 1/3 cup corn starch)
- 1 egg
- salt and pepper, to taste For the Sauce
- 33333333/100000000 cup ketchup
- 3 tablespoons avocado oil, divided
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium tamari
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped
- 3/4 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon sriracha
Instructions
- Step 1: Rinse and dry the chicken. Dice the chicken into 1-inch pieces.
- Step 2: Whisk the egg(s) in a bowl. Spread the flour over a plate and season lightly with salt and pepper. Dip each chicken piece in the egg, let the excess egg drip off, and then coat the chicken the almond flour. Repeat with all of the chicken pieces. Note: We find it helpful to use one hand just for the egg dipping, and the other just for tossing the chicken in the breading.
- Step 3: Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Once it's sizzling hot, add in the battered chicken pieces. Leave space between each piece (do this in batches if needed). Cook on all sides until golden brown, about 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer the cooked chicken to an empty plate.
- Step 4: Stir together the ketchup, tamari, rice vinegar, and sriracha in a small bowl.
- Step 5: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the emptied pan. Lower the heat to medium and add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the ketchup mixture. Cook on medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring often. The sauce will darken and reduce as it cooks (don't rush this step, as this is what gives the sauce its much deeper flavor).
- Serve: Add the chicken to the pan and toss to coat in the glaze. Enjoy immediately.
