Things You’ll Need
Cooking this stir fry in a wok makes it less messy and more convenient. I don’t know about you, but I tend to sling diced veggies out of the pan when stir frying! My handy dandy ceramic wok helps keep everything in the pan and makes clean up a breeze! Nothing sticks to this thing – it’s awesome!
If you’re in a pinch and don’t own a wok, a large saute pan will work. Just be careful when stirring so it doesn’t fly out of the pan!
For this recipe, you’ll need coconut aminos. This awesome ingredients makes a perfect, healthy substitute for soy sauce. It tastes just like soy sauce – I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve used it in a stir fry or fried “rice” dish and my guests never even notice the swap!
You can find coconut aminos at some local grocery stores and ethnic food stores. My local Walmart doesn’t sell it, but Publix does. I tend to buy the 3-pack from Amazon for convenience and a bit of savings.
Ingredients Needed for Keto Chicken Stir Fry
- 1 pound of chicken breast (frozen or fresh)
- 1/2 white onion
- 1 large bell pepper (or about a cup of all colors of bell peppers)
- 1/4 cup coconut aminos
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (or you can use 2-3 fresh garlic cloves)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- salt & pepper
Prep Your Ingredients
If you’re using fresh chicken breasts, cut them into small pieces. If you’re using frozen pre-cut chicken breast, you can skip this step and throw them in the pan straight from the bag.
Chop the onion and bell pepper into small pieces. The idea here is to make everything bite sized so there’s less cutting to do once the dish is served.
Cooking Your Keto Chicken Stir Fry
This recipe is really simple. Basically everything just gets thrown in the wok and stirred around until done. Easy peasy!
Start by throwing the butter (or fat) into the wok, turn it to medium heat and wait for it to melt.
Once it’s all melted, toss in the onions and garlic (powder or cloves). Let it cook, stirring occaisonally for about 5 minutes, until the onions are translucent.
Now increase the temperature to medium-high heat and add the bell peppers. Stir fry for 1-2 minutes.
Then add the chicken, coconut aminos, ginger, salt, and pepper. Stir fry for another 5-7 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
Your delicious stir fry is ready to serve! I like to serve mine over keto cauliflower fried rice, but you can totally eat it on its own too.
