Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Fresh ginger
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 3 stalks Scallions
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
• 1 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 heads Bok choy
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 0.5 cup Cilantro
• 1 whole Lime

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the ingredients: thinly slice the ginger and garlic, diagonally slice the scallions, chop the bok choy into halves, julienne the red bell pepper, and roughly chop the cilantro.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, coconut aminos, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Turn to coat each piece thoroughly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Step 4

While the chicken is marinating, prepare your bamboo steamer by filling a pot with about 2 inches of water and bringing it to a simmer.

Step 5

Arrange the bok choy and red bell pepper slices in the bamboo steamer layers.

Step 6

Place the marinated chicken breasts on top of the veggies in the steamer, sprinkle with the sliced ginger, garlic, and scallions, and then cover with the steamer lid.

Step 7

Set the bamboo steamer over the simmering water, ensuring that the base does not touch the water; steam for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is tender.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the chicken and vegetables from the steamer, and place them onto serving plates.

Step 9

Finish by garnishing the steamed chicken and vegetables with fresh cilantro and a wedge of lime for squeezing on top.

Step 10

Serve the Keto Bamboo Steamed Chicken warm, enjoying the flavorful and aromatic dish while staying within your keto diet guidelines.
