Keto Recipe – Low Carb Sweet & Sour Chicken
Chinese food has been a weakness for me since I first tasted it. Fried rice, sweet and sour chicken, general tso’s, chow mein. Everything I can’t have on a ketogenic diet. If you’re missing the fried rice, don’t fret – you can make an accompanying Cauliflower Fried Rice!
Through the years I have built up a resistance to Chinese food, eventually not getting cravings for it and not even thinking about it. The other day I was surfing the internet and saw a picture of some delicious looking sweet and sour chicken. All of those memories of Chinese food flooded back to my mind, making me crave anything that even resembled a piece of orange chicken.
After that, I saught out to re-create one of my all time favorites: Sweet and Sour Chicken. But to make it low carb? Well that’s a challenge, isn’t it. The judgement? It was a winner! Family and friends enjoyed it and between 4 people, 5 1/2 pounds of chicken was eaten in 1 sitting.

I’ve never used Erythritol but I’d buy it to make this. Definitely not ruining it by using stevia LOL.
I miss Chinese food.
nice video:)
It’s also important to note that Erythritol don’t really digest and it’s a sugar alcohol which means carbs.
@kameron mcknight the most important is it doesn’t raise blood sugar levels. This is very important for diabetics. Most, if not all, sugar substitutes do wreak havoc on the stomach for some people because, as you said, it doesn’t digest.
Where can you buy in uk
Rio Zamo Yeah, this aint chinese food tho.
@kameron mcknight carbs that won’t affect your sugar levels. Which is good for Diabetics or anybody who’s low carb… so it’s still fine.
This is one of my favorite meals. So thrilled you showed this today. Looks delicious!
Amazing !!! Looks delicious 😋
Thank you so much!
This is great. It gets straight to the point. It’s all about the cooking and ingredients. No one giving a background story in the beginning about how good it was or any other jibber jabber that most people do. You got yourself a subscriber.
They lost me at adding erytritol.
Leave Headbangers alone, he makes me laugh, love his videos.👍
they got their own style, i love this channel’s and headbangers too.
agree
This is delicious, made in tonight, reduced the almond flour to 3-4 tbsp, you really have to play around with the breading. The sauce is amazing, I did reduce the swerve down to 1/3 cup as I was running out. I’m going to use the sauce on ribs too.
Cooked this today. Stunning dish
I’ve made keto “sweet and sour chicken” with tons of veggies (all colors of bell peppers, onions, cabbage, broccoli, bok choy, water chestnuts, mung beans, & riced cauliflower) at least 10 times with this sweet and sour sauce recipe so far! It’s awesome! I use apple cider vinegar in place of the vinegar, I add about a 1/4 tsp of ginger powder, and an orange or two worth of orange peels into the sauce. (I highly recommend the orange peels! I peel the orange(s) and slice the peels up thinly with a knife to get the whole peel). I usually make it a batch and a half for my husband, my 4 year old daughter and myself. I oven bake the free range organic chicken (thighs or legs) because I’m being lazy. I put onion powder, garlic powder, ginger powder and sea salt.
This is a Great recipe! I was missing Chinese food so bad! I’m excited to eventually cook the chicken the way the recipe says to! It looks delicious! I highly recommend this recipe! 👍
By the way! I just binge watched a ton of your other recipes today! I just subscribed!! You’re awesome!! 😁
Thank you so much Sara, I am glad you are enjoying this recipe!
So this recipe is okay for weight loss?
I made this for dinner last night. Very very good. My daughter liked it too.
I used monk fruit instead and it tasted great. I wish I had used 1/4 cup of rice vinegar instead of 1/2 for my 8-9 oz chicken breast, nonetheless this recipe was amazing.
I’m glad you liked this!
Yummy, quick and easy 😋
I love how you explained this recipe! This looks so yummy! Definitely going to have to try this out!!
I really hope you enjoy this!
@RuledMe No doubt that I will!!! Thank you!
I just made this and it was sooo good. I didn’t have pork rinds, so I added a little bread crumbs. I also added ginger and a few drops of orange extract to the sauce. Amazing!
No we’re not diabetic. But good to know
Bread crumbs? You just made it NOT KETO. i would of skipped the egg and lightly fried the bare chicken with keto veggies added.
Hi, I’m new to the keto diet and this recipe looks delicious. I will be trying this really soon. Good job!
Can you tell me the song playing in the background? I love the vibe!
Omg by far one of the best recipes I tried. Tastesss so good especially after a long day of work and then gym.
What about the erythritol in the recipe ?
I made the coating with P
parmesane, coconut flour 1/4, flaxseed floor 1/4, salt and pepper, egg. And it was delicious!
M K no pork ?
Now I tried the coating with fried onion shredded, parmesane cheese, coconut flour and almonds shredded! Very tasty! And low carb!
I made this tonight and it was wonderful! Served it on a bed of cooked riced cauliflower – yummy! Thank you for sharing the recipe.
Awesome to hear it – I’m really happy you enjoyed it!
I’m not on keto but this looks delicious and a looot healthier than the regular
This is by far the best low carb recipe I’ve had! That sauce is spot on with how sweet and sour sauce actually tastes, thank you so much for this recipe!
Really happy to hear it! 😀
I am looking for a recipie for sweet & sour red cabbage. Can anyone recommend one?
Just use protein powder to coat best as wet batter). It fries perfectly and makes great southern fried chicken as well!
