Crockpot Keto Bourbon Chicken Recipe
If you only make one keto recipe from our website, make it this very satisfying Keto Bourbon Chicken recipe!
We used liquid allulose sweetener in this recipe but you can also use an Imitation Honey that has keto friendly sweeteners in it. We tend to have this on hand for some of our barbecue recipes. It’s fantastic!
Nature’s Hollow makes a sugar free honey that is sweetened with xylitol and erythritol. Totally keto friendly! When I first tried it I was shocked to see the honey like consistency as I squeezed the bottle for the first time! It’s really good and super thick and sticky. If you don’t want to use this product, you can also make your own Keto Syrup Recipe and just add the honey flavoring! Many companies make a honey flavoring and I’ve purchased the LorAnn Oils Honey Flavoring before. Great products!
Bourbon is keto friendly but you are more than welcome to substitute that ingredient for chicken broth too.
Don’t skip the Glucomannan though because this is what makes the sauce nice and thick. Xanthun gum works in the same amounts but I prefer Glucomannan in these types of recipes. Glucomannan is Konjac Root Extract and helps to thicken sauce recipes. It also helps you to feel full too! Lots of people use it for weight loss benefits but I like how it thickens sauces so I always keep it stocked in my pantry. A small amount goes a long way. Glucomannan may be hard to find at your local grocery stores. It’s an ingredient that I always order off of Amazon. I specifically purchase the NOW brand Glucomannan seen here on Amazon.

Crockpot Keto Bourbon Chicken Recipe Instructions

Other Items Needed
Serve it over cauliflower rice with a side of green beans. I used to make this recipe with apple juice but the juice is not keto-friendly. You don’t need to add juice to this recipe. If you want that extra flavor, you can add a squirt of MIO Apple Flavored water enhancer to this recipe if you have it on hand but it’s not absolutely necessary. It tastes great with or without it.
