Ketogenic Chicken Broccoli Stir Fry Recipe

Chicken broccoli stir fry is one of my favorite ketogenic recipes. It can be very easy to make it quickly. If you have the ingredients handy and cook them in the proper order. This is an ideal go-to recipe because it can be cooked in fifteen minutes and often the ingredients are on hand in my kitchen. Also, if you don’t have one of the vegetables, you can swap it out for another stir fry type of vegetable. For example, onions can be swapped out for green onions or scallions. Bell peppers are not essential, but add great flavor. The broccoli can be fresh or frozen. Mushrooms can be added or left out depending on whether you have them on hand or not. If you happen to have sugar snap peas, you could add those. I don’t tend to keep those on hand, but they are a great stiry fry ingredient too! 

Ingredients:

  • Frozen chicken tenders
  • bell pepper
  • onions
  • mushrooms
  • broccoli
  • olive oil
  • Tamari (soy sauce – optional)
  • salt and pepper

 

Directions:

For this, I start my chicken broccoli stir fry with the thing that cooks the slowest first. I place my frozen chicken tenders in the pan and turn it on high.

I get out the next slowest thing to cook, the broccoli. I cut and break the broccoli into bite size pieces and toss it in the cast iron skillet. I stir up the broccoli and the chicken so that the olive oil coats it a little and it evenly cooks. Next, I grab a pepper and chop it into bite sized pieces.

I toss the pepper into the hot skillet with the chicken and broccoli.

Next, I slice the mushrooms and add them.

Finally, I chop the scallions and add them to the pan. At this point, the chicken is half-way cooked and can easily be cut into bite sized pieces. I remove the chicken and then cut it into bite sized pieces. I cook it for a few more minutes (until the chicken has turned white and looks cooked).

Finally, I season it with about a teaspoon of Tamari, a dash of salt and pepper and serve![easyazon_image align=”left” height=”160″ identifier=”B000EITYUU” locale=”US” src=”https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/513hqJgMaEL._SL160_.jpg” tag=”mcurle08-20″ width=”101″][easyazon_image align=”left” height=”160″ identifier=”B01BMYSNSS” locale=”US” src=”https://getfitandhealthyathome.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/41mgdQr2YyL.SL160.jpg” tag=”mcurle08-20″ width=”47″]

  1. Thank you for this recipe. My wife and I go out to eat often at a local restaurant and we always order the chicken stir fry. I have been wanting to make it at home but never had a recipe for it.
    I wonder, would it be okay to leave out the salt? At the restaurant they put soy sauce in it and I would like to reduce my sodium intake for blood pressure purposes.

    1. Hi! If I were you, I’d rethink leaving the sea salt out. I’m a fan of the “water cure,” which defies the medical profession’s advice to reduce salt intake to lower blood pressure. I’ve had plenty of friends lose weight and lower their blood pressure by adding in sea salt, which has trace minerals in it. 

      Another great thing that you can do to lower your blood pressure is breathing exercises. Check out my other post on how to reduce blood pressure naturally.

    1. I agree! I think it is so delicious as well! Thanks for your comment on my ketogenic chicken broccoli stir fry recipe!
