Low Carb Sesame Ginger Chicken

My Low Carb Sesame Ginger Chicken has that same sweet and sticky sauce we all love, but I've shaved off some of the calories and carbs. The sauce can be thick and sticky or smooth and velvety - you get to be the judge. Either way, it's going to be delicious!

This chicken recipe is great any time of the year. Make it in cold weather in your oven, when it feels wonderful to end the day in a warm kitchen enveloped in the smell of ginger, garlic, and roasted meat. Or cook the marinated chicken on the grill on hot days - the smoky smells from the grill just enhance this recipe even more.

This goes great with stir fried veggies or a salad. Check out my make your own salad bar post - that's how we generally do salads around here.

Rice is our favorite side dish to pull this meal together, so you can swirl a forkful of rice in the extra Sesame Ginger sauce. Yum! You've gotta try out our Low Carb Half Calorie rice recipe! We make this at least once a week at our house.

Ingredients

I've got a video showing all the ingredients and how to make this recipe right here ⬇️ if you'd rather watch than read:

But here's a list of the ingredients if it will help:

• fresh ginger and garlic
• low sugar ketchup
• sriracha sauce
• sesame oil

See recipe card for quantities.

Storage

Store any extra chicken in a covered container with as much extra sauce as you can scrape together. If there's absolutely no sauce left (which is totally understandable), then you can add a spoonful of liquid such as chicken broth to the container. This will keep the chicken moist when you reheat it again.

Top tip

Preheat the oven or the grill all the way before putting the chicken in (or on). It will give you the best results with this recipe.
