Indulge in the flavors of Asia with this Easy Keto Sweet and Sour Chicken, a gluten-free, sugar-free, and low-carb delight that combines crispy chicken, colorful veggies, and a tangy sauce, perfect for satisfying your Chinese food cravings.
Heat about 2 inches of oil in a 10" cast-iron skillet over medium heat. The oil should be 350° F (175 °C).
Once the skillet is hot, dip the cubed chicken pieces one by one into the egg mixture and then into the Whey mixture.
Immediately drop the breaded chicken into the oil and fry for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown – fry in batches making sure not to overcrowd the skillet.
Once the chicken is fried, transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb the excess oil.
Sweet and sour sauce
Prepare the sauce ingredients in a mixing bowl; combine the granulated erythritol, brown erythritol, distilled vinegar, unsweetened ketchup, tamari, and minced garlic.
Drain all but 1 tablespoon of the oil from the pan where you stir-fried chicken and place back over medium heat.
Add the bell peppers and onion to the skillet and fry for 5 minutes.
Pour in the sauce and bring to a simmer, stirring frequently. The sauce should begin to thicken.
Once it is thick, add the chicken pieces back to the skillet to heat through, about 2 minutes.
Serve hot, and enjoy!
