Korean Chicken

KOREAN CHICKEN

This is one of my family’s favorite dishes. The flavors are amazing together. The original version of this recipe was named Olympics Chicken, as it was a contest winner for the Seoul Olympics. The original recipe used honey to sweeten the dish, but here a low-glycemic sweetener is used to lower the carbs. I have also doubled the sauce, because we can never get enough of it, plus it provides more to spoon over our cauliflower rice. One serving of this recipe is 3 oz of the chicken and covers your protein for one meal. 


INGREDIENTS

  • 2 Tbs. cold-pressed, unrefined coconut or avocado oil
  • 8-10 organic chicken thighs, skinless
  • 10 garlic cloves, peeled and coarsely chopped
  • 1 tsp. crushed red pepper (this is only moderately spicy-add more if you like it spicier or 1/2 tsp. for mild)
  • 1/2 cup white vinegar
  • 6 Tbs. Coconut Aminos or organic Tamari sauce (gluten-free soy sauce)
  • 4-5 Tbs. Swerve Granular
  • 1/2 tsp. ground ginger


DIRECTIONS

In a large stainless steel or cast iron skillet, heat the oil until moderately hot. Add the chicken thighs, browning on both sides – roughly 10 minutes. May need to brown in two batches, as overcrowding will cause the chicken to steam rather than brown. 


Add garlic and red pepper to pan, sautéing for 2 minutes. (Note: the garlic mellows greatly and will not overpower the dish.) 


In a 2-cup measuring cup, add the vinegar, Tamari, sweetener and ginger, stirring well. Pour over chicken. Cover and reduce heat to a simmer, cooking for 15-20 minutes or until chicken is tender. Turn chicken half-way through cooking to coat in sauce.


For a thicker sauce, remove cover and simmer until desired thickness.


NOTE: Serve with cauliflower rice and/or sautéed broccoli, cabbage, asparagus or Bok Choy.

  • I can’t begin to tell you how much appreciation I have for the Tanzar’s and this program. Truly a life changing decision when I invested in this program. Genesis is a very apt title but it’s also like a rebirth. I’m on my second life which is healthy, happy and pain free. I lost 85 lbs in 4 months, maybe less time. That is about 15 lbs more than my goal. So excited about the rest of my life!
