Don’t Give Up, There’s Keto Stirfry

Saturday or “Caturday” as we call it in our house is a good chance to decompress, spend some time with the kitties, do a little prep and get ready for the week ahead with a new keto recipe. We tend to do a meal we are familiar with that is quick and easy so we have more time to do the fun stuff. If you do the same the “Caturday Recipe” series is for you. No videos, no pop ups, no explanation of the mountain we hiked to pick the lettuce… just a plain ole’ fashioned Keto Stirfry recipe.

Keto Stirfry

Ingredients

• 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 medium zucchini, sliced
• 1 medium yellow bell pepper, sliced
• .5 medium red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 cup snow peas
• .5 cup mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup baby spinach
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
• 2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• .5 tsp sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional for garnish)

Directions

• Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken slices with salt and pepper.
• Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken slices and cook until they are no longer pink in the center, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
• Stir-Fry the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
• Add Veggies: Add the broccoli, bell peppers, zucchini, snow peas, and mushrooms. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
• Combine and Flavor: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Stir everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through.
• Finish Up: Stir in the baby spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute.
• Serve: Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired. Serve immediately.
