Keto 20 Minute Ground Chicken and Broccoli Meal Prep

12 ratings

This chicken and broccoli stir-fry is a great one-pan recipe perfect for busy weeknight dinners. You only need 20 minutes to whip up this flavorful dish, making it the ultimate Keto chicken meal prep recipe.

Easy stir-fries like this one are perfect for Keto meal prep. To prepare this low-carb chicken and broccoli dish, you will start by cutting the broccoli into bite-sized pieces and pan-frying them until golden. Then, take the broccoli off the heat and cook the ground chicken with fresh garlic and ginger until caramelized and fragrant. In the meantime, prepare a sauce by whisking together tamari, sriracha, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and liquid stevia. Once the chicken is cooked through, return the broccoli to the skillet along with the sauce. Give it a quick mix, then let it cool before dividing them into 4 containers.

Can you use chicken breasts instead of ground chicken?

You can definitely use chopped boneless chicken breasts for this recipe, but using ground chicken saves you time and effort. Ground chicken also has a higher fat content than lean chicken breasts, making this dish more flavorful and satiating.

What can you serve this meal with?

The flavors of this dish are subtle and balanced, which makes it delicious on its own. However, you can serve it with cauliflower rice or inside lettuce cups if you prefer more freshness.

How to adapt this dish to a vegan diet?

Instead of chicken, you can use firm tofu or pea protein crumbles. To prepare the tofu, place it in the food processor until the texture resembles ground chicken, then resume with the steps as they are. If you want to use pea protein crumbles, soak them in the recommended amount of water, then carry on with the same steps as well. Both of these variations make excellent vegan Keto meal prep ideas.

    This was very good. I used low sodium soy sauce. My only wish is that it had a little more sauce, but that's just me. I will make again

      Loved this. I used ground ginger and ground turkey. Added heavy cream for sauce. Delicious!

        Can I use apple cider vinegar instead of rice vinegar?

        • Lfugina55

          Lfugina55 3 months ago

          I wouldn't. Plain white vinegar or white wine vinegar are closer to rice vinegar than apple cider vinegar. I would also cut the amount of vinegar to 1/2 the amount if you use these substitute s. Rice vinegar is quite mild.

        I feel that there should only be 3 servings not 4 even though i used the exact amounts of ingredients . It was easy to make but it had a lot of ingredients , it was tasty!

            Can be frozen for 2-3 months. If frozen longer, it’s still good but the flavor may change.

                  I’m glad I read the comments first before making this dish. I reduced the amount of Tamari sauce . Thanks

                    A serving size is one container? What size is a container - a cup, 2 cups or ????? Please make it clearer.

                      500g of meat is used and 200g of brocoli so when you add everything else it would equal 4 servings, so divided by 4 it would be around 190g per serving to me that is obvious especially when they say serving size is 190g

                      Sherburd52 2 years ago

                      It would be 1/4 th of the recipe, as the recipe makes "4 containers". But, I agree.....why can't it be obvious and clear.

                      I'm with you on this...I bought this app to make things easy. Don't want to have to think about it. Just tell me what 1 serving equal s.

                      At the top of the recipe it says one container 6.7 ounces or 190 grams it’s shows this at the very beginning by the picture and the name of the recipes

                      It says it makes 4 containers, so I just divided it up into 4, theres my servings.
