Keto Cashew Chicken Stir Fry
A delicious, quick and flavoursome meal, ready on the table in 30 minutes! I love to serve this in fresh lettuce cups for extra crunch, but you can also serve this on its own or with cauliflower rice.
Ingredients
- 1 chicken breast or 2 chicken thighs, diced
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon crushed garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed ginger
- 1/2 green capsicum cut into 1cm slices
- 1 red chilli optional, finely sliced
- 2 tablespoons roasted cashews
- 4 cos lettuce leaves
Sauce
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon xylitol optional, for sweetness
- 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken, capsicum and chilli if using as above.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients and taste for salt and pepper.
- In a large frying pan or wok, melt the coconut oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the diced chicken, garlic and ginger and fry until the chicken is sealed on all sides and slightly browned.
- Add the capsicum and chilli if using and continue to fry for 2 - 3 minutes until the capsicum is just starting to soften.
- Add the roasted cashews and sauce ingredients and toss to combine. Continue stirring over high heat until the sauce has thickened slightly and the chicken is just cooked through.
- Serve in Cos Lettuce cups, on its own or with cauliflower rice and additional chilli if desired.
