Ingredients:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
- 1/2 cup sugar-free soy sauce
- 1/4 cup black bean sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Chicken:
In a large bowl, combine the chicken strips with olive oil, ginger, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Set aside to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2. Cook the Chicken:
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add the Vegetables:
Add the broccoli, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender yet still slightly crunchy.
4. Create the Sauce:
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, black bean sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables in the skillet.
5. Simmer and Thicken:
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the sauce to thicken and infuse the flavors into the chicken and vegetables.
6. Garnish and Serve:
Turn off the heat and sprinkle the stir-fry with green onions, cilantro, and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately over cauliflower rice or your preferred low-carb side dish.
This Ketogenic Chicken and Vegetable Stir-Fry is a culinary masterpiece that embodies the principles of healthy eating. It’s not just a meal; it’s an experience that nourishes the body, mind, and soul. Indulge in this delectable dish and embrace the transformative power of a Ketogenic lifestyle.
