Keto Chicken Stir Fry

 


Keto Chicken Stir Fry

Keto Chicken Stir Fry is at the top of our ‘easy weeknight dinners’ list because it’s easy prep, you can toss in any meat or veggie you have on hand and the best part, it’s easy clean up! Your skillet will do most of the work and leave you with a tender, flavorful stir fry. Check out the video below to see how Matt whips it up.

Why We Love Stir Frys!

It’s easy to understand why we love one skillet stir frys, especially now that we are parents. You can use up any ingredients in your fridge on the verge of going bad, it never takes more than an hour to cook up and it’s always delicious.

When I do my meal planning on Sunday nights for the week ahead I always throw in a quick to make chicken or beef stir fry. They never disappoint, and everyone in the family, including our 13 month old son loves them!

To Marinade Or Not?

In my mind this isn’t even a real question you should ask yourself, unless you’re crunched for time! Marinading meat adds a whole depth of flavor that tossing in spices while cooking doesn’t add.

The acidity you add, in this case apple cider vinegar, allows the flavors to penetrate the meat as well as help to tenderize it. We always like to add some fat to our marinade if it doesn’t already call for it. Finally, fresh ingredients is a must in our opinion. Powdered garlic and ginger just won’t cut it when it comes to flavor for this dish.

Be Patient With Your Stir Fry

Patience is probably the toughest virtue, wouldn’t you agree? Particularly when it comes to waiting on food. With any stir fry or meal when you are cooking lots of ingredients that vary in texture you need to make sure timing is right and you cook for a long enough period.

For this stir fry adding in the veggies first allows them time to cook, release their natural juices and build a base. Broccoli in particular takes a while to cook so you want to get it in early.

Then, adding the chicken and marinade will add liquid to the pan to help soften the veggies and cook them at the same speed as the chicken. Stir frys usually cook anywhere from 10-20 minutes. Feel free to add in a splash of water if all liquid has evaporated and your veggies need more cook time!

What Do I Serve It With?

This is simple! Our favorite way to serve it is on it’s own. The veggies and the meat are enough to create a deliciously balanced meal. Aside from that some other great low carb options to serve this keto chicken stir fry with are:

# Cauliflower Rice
# Palmini Pasta (Megha’s Fave!)
