How to make this recipe

1-  Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

2 – Mix together cornstarch, cold water, monk fruit sweetener, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic clove, ground ginger and black pepper in a small saucepan. Let the sauce simmer over low heat, stirring frequently until the sauce thickens and bubbles.

Yes, place the cooled chicken in a freezer safe container or freezer bag. Stored properly, chicken will last in the freezer for up to 3 months.
