Ingredients
- 1 lb Chicken breast
- 12 oz Shirataki noodles
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 2 tbsp Coconut oil
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 tsp Ginger
- 1 diced Red bell pepper
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Lime juice
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Cilantro
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the shirataki noodles under cold running water for 2-3 minutes to remove any unwanted odor. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
In a large pan, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
Step 4
In the same pan, add the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the diced red bell pepper to the pan and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
Step 6
Pour in the coconut milk and add the soy sauce. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.
Step 7
Add the cooked chicken back into the pan along with the shirataki noodles. Stir to coat the noodles and chicken with the sauce.
Step 8
Let the mixture cook for another 3-5 minutes to heat the noodles through and slightly thicken the sauce.
Step 9
Remove the pan from heat and stir in the lime juice.
Step 10
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve hot. Enjoy your creamy, keto-friendly chicken coconut pasta!
