Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh ginger (peeled and julienned)
• 3 stalks Scallions (sliced thinly lengthwise)
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (or coconut aminos for strict keto)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 cup Water
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 2 pieces Lime wedges (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the chicken breasts by trimming excess fat and patting them dry. Lightly season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Place the julienned ginger and half the sliced scallions in a bowl with the soy sauce (or coconut aminos), sesame oil, and minced garlic. Stir to combine and set aside.

Step 3

Fill a large pot or a wok with 1 cup of water and place a steaming rack or basket over the water. Make sure the water level does not touch the rack.

Step 4

Bring the water to a gentle boil, then reduce to medium heat.

Step 5

Place the chicken breasts on a heatproof plate that will fit in your steamer. Spoon half of the ginger-scallion mixture over the chicken, spreading it evenly.

Step 6

Carefully place the plate with the chicken in the steamer and cover with a lid. Steam for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the steamer and let it rest for 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Transfer the chicken to serving plates, pouring any juices from the steaming plate over the top. Garnish with the remaining sliced scallions and optional sesame seeds.

Step 9

Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for a fresh, tangy finish. Enjoy your delicious Keto Steamed Chicken with Ginger and Scallions!
