Recipe: Keto Chicken Stir-Fry

Ingredients: For the chicken marinade:

• 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the stir-fry sauce:

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon erythritol (or preferred keto sweetener)
• 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon minced ginger

For the stir-fry:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 1 medium bell pepper, sliced
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms
• 1 cup snap peas
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• Sliced green onions (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, combine the sliced chicken, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss until the chicken is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2. In another small bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the stir-fry sauce: 2 tablespoons soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, erythritol, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Set aside.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until it’s browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
4. In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the bell pepper, broccoli florets, sliced mushrooms, and snap peas. Stir-fry the vegetables until they’re tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the stir-fry sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
6. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly and everything is heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired.
8. Serve hot and enjoy!
