Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Chicken breast (or any keto-friendly meat like beef or pork)
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 1 medium Bell pepper (any color)
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 cup Mushrooms, sliced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (or coconut aminos for a gluten-free option)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (or avocado oil)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 Green onions, sliced (optional garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional garnish)
Instructions
Thinly slice the chicken (or your choice of meat) into bite-sized strips and lightly season with salt and pepper.
Wash and prepare the vegetables: slice the zucchini and bell pepper into thin strips, chop the broccoli into bite-sized florets, and slice the mushrooms.
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce (or coconut aminos), sesame oil, and grated ginger. Set the sauce aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil (or avocado oil).
Once the oil is hot, add the meat to the skillet and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, or until it is fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove the meat from the skillet and set it aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Next, add the sliced zucchini, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Stir-fry for an additional 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Return the cooked meat to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture, tossing everything to coat evenly.
Cook for 2 more minutes, allowing the sauce to warm through and flavors to meld.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the stir-fry to a serving dish. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy a delicious keto-friendly meal!
