Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast
- 1 medium green bell pepper
- 1 cup bean sprouts
- 3 stalks green onions
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Begin by beating the eggs in a large mixing bowl. Add salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, and mix thoroughly.
Chop the cooked chicken breast into small bite-sized pieces.
Dice the green bell pepper and finely slice the green onions.
Add the chopped chicken, green bell pepper, bean sprouts, and green onions to the beaten eggs. Mix until well combined.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Pour about 1/4 of the egg mixture into the pan to form a pancake shape. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side until it is set and golden brown at the edges.
Carefully flip the Egg Foo Young with a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown and cooked thoroughly.
Repeat steps 5 to 7, adding more olive oil as needed, until all the mixture is cooked.
In a small saucepan, heat sesame oil over low heat and add coconut aminos. Stir and warm through for about 1-2 minutes as a light sauce.
Serve the Keto Egg Foo Young with the sauce drizzled over it, and garnish with additional sliced green onions if desired.
