Low Carb Honey Garlic Chicken Stir Fry w Lemon Parsley Rice
This full Keto meal is like a copycat version of a common family-style dish served in Chinese restaurants. Bite-sized pieces of chicken breast are pan-fried and tossed in a thickened sweet sauce of honey and garlic. The mild dish is served with sauteed broccoli and walnuts over a bed of super-lemony cauliflower rice. The strong lemon-butter flavor helps cover up the cauliflower taste and gives more of a rice texture in the final dish. You can serve the whole meal family-style at the dinner table or portion the recipe into meal prep containers. Keep the final dish stored together in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to 5 days. Simply microwave your container to reheat the meal together.
Best Nuts On Keto
Nuts are a sneaky, low-carb way to add more fats and protein to your meal. This can be especially useful to anyone who is also vegetarian on the Keto diet. In just 1 ounce, walnuts contain only 4 grams of carbs but 18 grams of fat. Pecans also contain 4 grams of carbs and 20 grams of fat in 1 ounce. Cashews contain a few more grams of carbs in an ounce, but they have 5 grams of protein and 12 grams of fat. Throw some nuts in your next Keto stir-fry!
Other Vegetables Good For Stir-Frying
There are many vegetables commonly used in stir-fries that are also Keto-friendly. If you want to stick to greens, aside from broccoli, you can use bok choy, spinach, cabbage, green bell peppers, zucchini, green beans, snap peas or asparagus in your Keto stir-fry. Choose whichever Keto vegetables are in season. Other vegetables that are good for stir-fries are red bell peppers, chopped mushrooms, bean sprouts. For some more substance, tofu also makes a good Keto add-in.

Recipe Steps

Step 1
In a small pot, combine the beef broth, soy sauce, lemon juice, honey, ground ginger, minced garlic, liquid stevia, sesame seeds, chopped green onion, and paleo flour. Whisk the ingredients together until the flour dissolves, and heat the liquid over low heat. When the pot reaches a simmer, add the butter to the sauce. Reduce the heat until the sauce is bubbling and the butter melts. Stir the sauce and allow it to reduce until it is thickened.Step 2
Set the sauce aside to cool for the remainder of the recipe. Cut chicken breast into 1-bite or 2-bite pieces - about 4 pieces per serving. Add the chicken bites to a mixing bowl and toss them with salt, pepper, onion powder, and olive oil. Meanwhile, heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat on the stove. Once the pan is hot, pour the seasoned chicken into the pan.Step 3
Cook the chicken bites until they’re cooked through and golden brown on all sides. Once the chicken is cooked, add the hot pieces to a larger, clean mixing bowl. Pour the thickened sauce from Step 1 over the chicken, and fold the chicken over in the sauce until it’s all coated. Allow the honey garlic chicken to cool for a few more minutes as the sauce re-thickens while you make the remainder of the meal.Step 4
Chop the broccoli florets and walnuts, and add them together. Heat the avocado oil in the pan you used to cook the chicken and add the broccoli and walnuts to the hot oil. Season the ingredients with salt, and stir continuously over high heat as the broccoli and walnuts fry in the oil. Cook the ingredients until the walnuts are toasted and parts of the broccoli have charred. Then, add the broccoli and walnuts to the bowl of honey garlic chicken. Stir to combine.Step 5
Return that same pan once more to your stove. Heat it over medium-high heat, and add cauliflower rice to the hot pan. Season the rice with salt, pepper, parsley, and rice vinegar, and occasionally stir the pan until the cauliflower rice turns golden. With the heat still high, squeeze fresh lemon juice into the pan. When the lemon juice finishes infusing the rice, reduce the heat.Step 6
Add the final amount of butter to the cauliflower rice. Stir the rice until it’s coated in melted butter. Let the buttered rice cook over medium heat until it fries lightly. For serving, fill a plate with about 4 ounces of rice. Add 4-5 pieces of chicken with broccoli, walnut, and honey garlic sauce over the rice. For garnishes, extra sesame seeds or chopped green onion are suggested.

Not nearly enough sauce for the dish. No amount given for rice vinegar so I used 1 t apple cider. Someone needs some imagination to revise this recipe
