Start by preparing the ingredients. Slice the chicken thighs into thin strips. Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the ginger. Cut the red bell pepper into thin strips. Chop the green onions, separating the white and green parts. Roughly chop the bok choy.
Rinse the shirataki noodles in cold water and boil for 2-3 minutes to remove any residual odor. Drain and set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix the chicken strips with 1 tablespoon of coconut aminos and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Let them marinate while you prepare the other ingredients.
In a large non-stick skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and stir-fry until they are cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of avocado oil. Sauté the minced garlic, ginger, and the white parts of the green onions for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the red bell pepper and bok choy to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.
Return the chicken to the skillet and add the boiled shirataki noodles. Pour in the remaining 2 tablespoons of coconut aminos and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Season with salt and black pepper.
Toss everything well to combine and heat through, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Garnish with the green parts of the chopped green onion before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your Keto Chicken Chow Fun, packed with flavor and crunch!
