Instructions

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with chili oil. Add ground chicken and brown for 3–4 minutes per side. Mince and cook through.
While the chicken cooks, whisk together remaining ingredients in a bowl to make the firecracker sauce.
Pour the sauce over the cooked chicken and stir. Cook 2–3 minutes until thick and syrupy.
Serve hot over rice, cauliflower rice, or in lettuce wraps. Garnish with scallions and toasted sesame seeds.

Using real brown sugar: ~24g carbs, 275 calories per serving.
Opt for 97/3 ground chicken to save 5.5g fat and 50 calories per serving.
Erythritol-based sweeteners like Swerve add negligible calories (~20 for the whole recipe).
