Orange Chicken Lettuce Boats

1. Dice chicken breasts and season generously with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook the seasoned chicken fully in a pan until done.
2. To prepare the sauce, combine 1 teaspoon minced garlic, 1 teaspoon ginger paste, 1 cup low sugar orange juice, 1 teaspoon stevia, 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon rice vinegar in a saucepan.
3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water to create a cornstarch slurry.
4. Gradually add the cornstarch slurry to the sauce mixture in the saucepan while stirring continuously to prevent lumps.
5. Simmer the sauce on low heat for approximately 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken to your desired consistency.
6. Add the fully cooked chicken to the thickened sauce and continue cooking for a few more minutes, stirring to ensure the chicken is well coated and the flavors are incorporated.
7. Optionally, stir in sesame seeds just before serving.
8. Serve the orange chicken by topping fresh lettuce boats with white rice, a generous portion of the orange chicken, and a sprinkle of fresh chives.
