Sesame Sweet & Sour Chicken – Keto Recipe
This recipe hit the spot! My kids devoured it. They didn’t even know it’s ketofied 😉
This recipe adapted from Ruled Me.
I have to make sure that the chicken is cook thoroughly so I cooked it before coating.
After the cubed chicken is done. Add it to the eggs.
Then drop it into the crumbs mixture and coat it.
Cook it in the skillet until golden brown.
Once it’s done, put it in a bowl and set aside.
Cook the sauce until thickens.
Once the sauce is done, add cooked chicken and coat it with the sauce.
The final step is adding the sesame seeds. Sprinkle on top and enjoy!
I like mine with vegetables. It’s so good!
