Sometimes, I have no idea what I am doing in the kitchen (scary thought that we run this website isn’t it?). I mean I have no plan and just find inspiration by looking inside our fridge, you know, ‘work with what you have’.
So today was one of those days and all we had was chicken thighs and a couple of vegetables.
So I started thinking what would go well together and came up with this Keto Sesame Chicken Stir Fry! It came out really well so wanted to share our creation!
This dish is low-carb/keto approved with 1g of carb/serving. The dish is pretty light with hints of sweet garlic & sesame followed by a little kick of jalapeno on the finish.
For this dish, the only special ingredients you would need are Sesame Oil and Ttoasted Sesame Seeds. Both can be picked up on Amazon or a local Asian supermarket.
Now, let’s get cooking!
