Sugar Free Chicken Tocino (Keto-Friendly)
Ingredients
Scale
- 500g Chicken Breast (or chicken thigh, if you want)
- 1 cup Sprite Zero

Instructions
- Make the Sugar Free Tocino Marinade: In a small bowl, combine Lakanto Monkfruit Golden Sweetener, salt, pepper, and sprite.
- Mix well until alternative sweetener is dissolved.
- Add a few drops of red food color, if using. This will make your chicken tocino more appetizing.
- Set the marinade aside ready for use later.
- Tenderize the Chicken Breast: Put the chicken breast is a clear plastic and use a meat tenderizer to tenderize it. Pound the meat until a bit thin and tenderized.
- After tenderizing all your chicken breast, cut them into strips and put it in a large bowl.
- Pour in the Sugar Free Tocino Marinade and mix well.
- Cover with Cling wrap and put it in the fridge for 2 hours or better yet overnight for full flavor.
- It’s ready for frying the next day.
- To Fry: Heat cooking oil in a non-stick pan and fry your chicken tocino for 2 minutes on each side or until cooked and a bit caramelized.
- Remove from heat and serve with Cauli- Sinangag (Cauliflower Garlic Fried Rice) and a dipping sauce of spicy vinegar and chopped tomatoes.
