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
Directions
Step 1
Begin by beating the eggs in a large mixing bowl. Add salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, and mix thoroughly.
Step 2
Chop the cooked chicken breast into small bite-sized pieces.
Step 3
Dice the green bell pepper and finely slice the green onions.
Step 4
Add the chopped chicken, green bell pepper, bean sprouts, and green onions to the beaten eggs. Mix until well combined.
Step 5
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Repeat steps 5 to 7, adding more olive oil as needed, until all the mixture is cooked.
Step 9
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.
Step 10
Serve the Keto Egg Foo Young with the sauce drizzled over it, and garnish with additional sliced green onions if desired.
