Ingredients

1 lb chicken breast, thinly sliced

2 cups broccoli florets

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon ginger, minced

2 tablespoons soy sauce or coconut aminos (for a gluten-free option)

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon erythritol or a sweetener of your choice (optional)

1 teaspoon chili flakes (optional, for a bit of heat)

Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken:
    Heat the olive oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.

  2. Cook Garlic and Ginger:
    In the same pan, add a little more olive oil if necessary, then toss in the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. Cook the Broccoli:
    Add the broccoli florets to the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender but still crisp.

  4. Prepare the Sauce:
    While the broccoli is cooking, mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and erythritol (if using) in a small bowl.

  5. Combine Chicken and Broccoli:
    Once the broccoli is tender, return the chicken to the pan and pour the sauce over the chicken and broccoli. Stir to coat everything evenly.

  6. Finish Cooking:
    Cook for another 1-2 minutes to allow the sauce to heat through and thicken slightly. Season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes (if desired).

  7. Serve:
    Serve hot and enjoy your flavorful, low-carb stir fry.

Notes

  • Add More Veggies: Feel free to include other low-carb vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or spinach for added nutrients and flavor.

  • Spicy Version: Increase the chili flakes or add fresh chili peppers for a spicier kick.

  • Protein Swap: This stir fry is versatile! Substitute chicken with shrimp, beef, or tofu for a different protein option.

  • Crispy Chicken: For a crispy version, coat the chicken slices in a little almond flour before cooking.
