A flavorful Malaysian dish with chicken cooked in a rich tomato and chili based sauce, made keto friendly by using alternative sweeteners and avoiding added sugars.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Chicken pieces (thighs or drumsticks)
- 6 oz Tomato paste
- 2 tbsp Chili paste (sambal oelek)
- 1 medium Onion
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 inch Ginger
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce (keto-friendly)
- 1 tsp Erythritol
- 2 tbsp Coconut oil
- 1/2 cup Water
Instructions
- 1Heat the 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a large 12-inch skillet or a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat, which is about 350°F (175°C).
- 2Add the chopped 1 medium onion, minced 3 cloves garlic, and grated 1 inch ginger to the skillet. Sauté for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the ingredients are softened and smell fragrant.
- 3Add the 1.5 lbs of chicken pieces to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, turning the pieces occasionally, until they are browned on all sides.
- 4Stir in the 6 oz of tomato paste, 2 tablespoons of chili paste, 2 tablespoons of keto-friendly soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of erythritol, and 1/2 cup of water. Mix everything together until the chicken pieces are well coated with the sauce.
- 5Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet or pot and let it cook for 30-40 minutes. The chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the sauce has thickened to your liking.
