Description
A delicious and easy meal featuring tender chicken thighs cooked in a flavorful bourbon sauce, perfect for low-carb diets.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup bourbon
- 1/4 cup sweetener (erythritol or another low-carb sweetener)
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional for thickening)
- 1 tablespoon water (optional for thickening)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine soy sauce, bourbon, sweetener, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Place the chicken thighs in the crock pot.
- Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
- If you want a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch with water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Add this to the crock pot about 30 minutes before serving and stir well to combine.
- Once cooking is complete, remove the chicken and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the sauce and mix thoroughly.
- Serve over cauliflower rice or on its own for a low-carb meal option.
Notes
- Adjust the level of sweetener to taste depending on your preference.
- For a spicier version, consider adding red pepper flakes.
