Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp ginger, minced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sugar-free sriracha sauce
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
- 0.25 cup peanuts, crushed
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
Instructions
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips. Season with salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut oil, followed by the minced garlic and ginger. Saute for 1 minute or until fragrant.
Stir in the soy sauce, sugar-free sriracha sauce, and chicken broth. Let the mixture simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Add the sliced red bell pepper and saute for another 2 minutes until they begin to soften.
Return the chicken to the skillet along with the sliced green onions. Toss everything to coat well in the sauce.
Allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and reduces.
Transfer the chicken to a serving dish and garnish with crushed peanuts and sesame seeds.
Serve hot and enjoy your Keto Dragon Chicken with cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles.
