⅓ cup Soy Sauce

⅓ cup Dry Sherry

1 tbsp Packed Brown Sugar Swerve

1 ½ lbs Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces

3 tbsp Vegetable oil

1 Ginger, peeled, halved lengthwise, and sliced into thin half-rounds

12 Garlic, peeled and halved lengthwise

Red Pepper Flakes

6 Scallion, white and green parts separated and sliced thin on bias

1 tbsp Water

1 tsp Xanthan Gum

1 cup Thai Basil Leaves, large leaves sliced in half lengthwise

1 tbsp Toasted Sesame Oil

Whisk soy sauce, wine, and sugar together in medium bowl. Add chicken and toss to coat; set aside.

Heat vegetable oil, ginger, garlic, and pepper flakes in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until garlic is golden brown and beginning to soften, 8 to 10 minutes.

Add chicken and marinade to skillet, increase heat to medium-high, and bring to simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in scallion whites and continue to cook until chicken registers about 200 degrees, 8 to 10 minutes longer.

Whisk water and xanthan gum** together in small bowl, then stir into sauce; simmer until sauce is slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Remove skillet from heat. Stir in basil, sesame oil, and scallion greens. Transfer to platter and serve.

**DO NOT use to much xanthan gum (usually a 1:1 ratio is good) to much may cause the dish to become slimy in texture.
