Ingredients

1 lb Chicken breast, thinly sliced (450g)
2 cups Broccoli florets (about 300g)
1 large Bell pepper, sliced (about 150g)
2 teaspoons Fresh ginger, minced (10g)
3 Garlic cloves, minced (about 15g)
2 tablespoons Avocado oil (30ml)
3 tablespoons Soy sauce (or coconut aminos for gluten-free) (45ml)
1 tablespoon Sesame oil (15ml)
¼ cup Chicken broth (60ml)
1 tablespoon Rice vinegar (15ml)
2 teaspoons Erythritol (or another keto-friendly sweetener) (8g)
¼ teaspoon Xanthan gum (1g)
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, chicken broth, rice vinegar, erythritol, and xanthan gum until well combined. Set aside.
Cook the Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken slices and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.
Stir Fry the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of avocado oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the broccoli and bell pepper, and stir fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Combine and Simmer: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetables, stirring to coat everything evenly. Allow the stir fry to simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Serve: Divide the stir fry into four servings, garnish with sesame seeds if desired, and serve hot.

Notes

For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.

Feel free to swap out vegetables based on preference or availability. Other keto-friendly options include zucchini, spinach, and mushrooms.

If you’re avoiding soy, make sure to use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making this a great meal prep option.
