Firecracker Ground Chicken Recipe

Ingredients

For the Ground Chicken:

- 1 pound of 92% lean ground chicken (can substitute with ground turkey or another ground meat)
- 1/2 tablespoon of chili oil (or your choice of oil)

For the Firecracker Sauce:

- Buffalo sauce
- Cider or rice vinegar
- Zero-calorie Swerve brown sugar (or dark brown sugar)
- Garlic powder
- Ground ginger
- Red pepper flakes
- Salt and pepper

Instructions

Prepare the Ground Chicken:
- Brown the ground chicken in a pan with the chili oil. Stir occasionally until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and slightly browned.
Make the Firecracker Sauce:
- In a separate bowl, mix together the buffalo sauce, vinegar, sugar substitute or brown sugar, garlic powder, ground ginger, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
Combine and Cook:
- Once the ground chicken is browned, mince it further as needed, and pour the prepared firecracker sauce over the cooked chicken.
- Cook the mixture for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the sauce thickens and becomes syrupy, ensuring it doesn’t burn by stirring often.
Serve:
- You can serve the firecracker ground chicken with rice, cauliflower rice, in lettuce wraps, or as a part of a veggie stir-fry with noodles.

Note:

Swerve sweeteners are zero-calorie, erythritol-based sugar substitutes that can cook and taste like real sugar. Adjust the sweetness according to your preference.
The recipe is designed to be low carb and high protein, perfect for meal preps.
Cooking time is roughly 20 minutes, making it a quick and easy meal solution.
