Calories: 296kcal
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil or sesame oil
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken thighs or boneless chicken breasts
- sea salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 5 cups low carb vegetables like broccoli, bell peppers, mushrooms, or bok choy
- 4 cups cauliflower frozen or freshly made
Instructions
- Heat sesame or avocado oil in a skillet, and then add the chicken thighs. Season with salt and pepper, and brown both sides of the chicken for about 7-8 minutes, depending on thickness of the chicken thighs. When the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the pan and slice it.
- Lightly sauté the vegetables. Season them lightly with salt and pepper, if desired. The teriyaki sauce will provide a salty flavor even if the vegetables are left plain.
- Heat up cauliflower rice by stir frying it in a skillet over medium high heat until hot throughout.
- On a bed of cauliflower rice, add the veggies and top each plate with chicken. Serve with a drizzle of teriyaki sauce.
Notes
*Nutrition facts do not include teriyaki sauce.
Low Carb Vegetables: Green beans, boy choy, cabbage, red cabbage, cauliflower, zucchini, and asparagus are all great stir fry vegetables. They all have a similar cook time so can be prepared in place of the broccoli, mushrooms, and peppers.
Broccoli Rice: Broccoli rice is similar to cauliflower rice, with a green twist! Break up broccoli into florets, and pulse them in a food processor until rice-sized pieces. Stir fry until heated throughout to use as a base for this dish.
Chicken Teriyaki Noodles: Make this a keto teriyaki noodle dish by using zucchini noodles or shirataki noodles in place of the cauliflower rice.
