Keto Miso Chicken with Beans

Keto Miso Chicken with Beans

Creating this Keto Miso Chicken happened a bit by accident. A friend came over for dinner and cooked us some delicious Japanese style beef stir fry, and it got my cooking brain excited.

For the next week all I ate and cooked was Japanese food, and of course Miso paste is a staple in Japanese cuisine. It is made from soy beans so if you are so intolerant obviously you need to steer clear of these Keto Miso Chicken.

For the rest of us, this is a delicious, sticky marinade that has just the right amount of savoury and sweet combined to give it that uniquely Japanese flavour profile.

You can also marinate the meat in the Keto Miso Chicken sauce ahead of time, however this worked just as well and had plenty of flavour without marinating it.

I used white miso paste to create the subtle flavour in my Keto Miso Chicken. The white miso paste is also called Shiro paste, and it was easily found in the asian section of my supermarket. If you have trouble you could also try an asian grocer.

Now, what to do with the rest of the bag of miso paste? Better put my thinking cap on..

Note: This recipe comes in at 12 grams net carbs, mostly due to the beans. You could lower the amount of beans or serve with cauliflower rice if you want to achieve a lower carb dish.
