Easy Low Carb Chicken Stir Fry Recipe (Gluten Free)

Love this recipe? Shout it from the rooftops!

I love Asian food. Sadly, when you are on a strict low carb plan like Keto, Asian restaurants are pretty much out of the question since just about everything is loaded with sugar and starches.

I have a few low carb Asian recipes here on the blog, like the General Tso’s Meatballs (or wings), and Orange Chicken, but not nearly enough of them.

With that in mind, I decided to go the stir fry route, which would include vegetables and make a complete meal.

One super easy and under utilized product is the broccoli slaw that you can find bagged in your grocers produce section. It doesn’t taste overtly of broccoli, and it’s pretty low carb for a veggie – 3g net carbs for 3/4 cup.

I’m using it in the stir fry, and also in a slaw that I’m posting later this week. They will both be featured on the Week Three Keto 7 Day Menu Plan.

Because most of your veggies are from this slaw, this dish is incredibly easy to throw together – it literally takes just 15 minutes (or less) from beginning to end. Almost faster than takeout, and certainly healthier for you!
