Ingredients

• 500 g chicken breast
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 large green bell pepper
• 1 large yellow bell pepper
• 2 tbsp avocado oil
• 3 cloves garlic
• 3 tbsp soy sauce (or coconut aminos for strict keto)
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• 0.5 tsp red chili flakes
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 2 stalks green onions
• 1 tsp sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips for quicker cooking. Season with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and ground ginger.

Step 2

Deseed and slice the red, green, and yellow bell peppers into thin strips. Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Chop the green onions into thin slices, separating the white and green parts.

Step 3

In a small bowl, prepare the stir-fry sauce by combining soy sauce (or coconut aminos), sesame oil, ground ginger, and red chili flakes. Mix well and set aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken strips and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of avocado oil to the skillet. Sauté the minced garlic and the white parts of the green onions for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are slightly tender but still crisp.

Step 7

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Toss everything together, cooking for an additional 2 minutes to ensure the sauce coats all the ingredients.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with the green parts of the green onions and sprinkle sesame seeds on top for added flavor and crunch.

Step 9

Serve immediately as a standalone dish for a satisfying keto-friendly meal or alongside cauliflower rice for an extra hearty option.
