Keto Chicken and Broccoli Stir Fry

Bring the takeout home with this Chinese inspired stir fry! Tender chicken and broccoli covered in a tangy sweet and salty stir fry sauce in one skillet and less than 30 minutes! Super easy family friendly dinner or meal prep!

This simple takeout copy cat dish is the perfect busy weeknight dinner.  I love the juicy boneless skinless chicken thighs because they add so much flavor and the keto stir fry sauce is out of this world easy and delicious!

This stir fry recipe is light on the calories so I recommend pairing it with a delicious keto dessert!

Get ready, because this recipe comes together quickly.  It's best to have all of your components ready so you can quickly throw them in the pan.

I get all of my broccoli chopped into florets and I get my chicken sliced.

I go ahead and mix up my sauce which includes soy sauce, brown sugar keto sweetener, garlic, ginger, water, and xanthan gum.

The xanthan gum acts like cornstarch in traditional Chinese cooking and it helps thicken the sauce.  It is activated by the heat but be careful; a little goes a long way and it is not something I would use as a breading.  It doesn't work like that!

You are going to love this keto stir fry recipe!  It's a little sweet, a little salty, easy, and incredibly delicious.

    When you mention carbs in the nutritional information, is that per serving or full recipe?

      Swerve makes a really good brown "sugar" made with erythritol which, after deducting the sugar alcohols, has absolutely ZERO carbs, so consider that whenever a Keto (or any, actually) recipe calls for it.

    Made this a while back and am making again tonight for supper and wanted to comment on it because it is so delicious <3 I like things spicy so I always add sriracha or garlic chili paste to spice it up. Serving with Ramen style Konjac noodles 🙂 love it and so easy. Thanks Jennifer for another great recipe xo
