Why This Recipe Supports Red Light Therapy

Chicken is a complete protein rich in amino acids essential for tissue repair. Adequate protein intake supports muscle protein synthesis and recovery. This steady amino acid supply may complement the cellular repair processes red light therapy activates, giving your body more raw material to rebuild with after a session. Note: this recipe is keto-friendly, not strict keto (the sweet chili sauce pushes it over the sugar threshold for a full keto label). To make it fully keto, swap the 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce for a sugar-free sweet chili sauce (e.g. G Hughes) or 2 tbsp Sriracha whisked with a pinch of allulose or monk fruit sweetener and a splash of rice vinegar.
