Keto Chicken Stir-Fry with Peppers and Peanuts
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly confirm no sugar or cornstarch in the sauce. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Brazilian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A Brazilian take on an 'oriental' stir-fry, featuring diced chicken, vibrant bell peppers (red, green, yellow), onions, and roasted peanuts, all sautéed in a savory, umami-rich sauce. Modified for keto by ensuring the sauce is sugar-free and thickened without cornstarch or other high-carb agents, relying instead on a rich broth base.
Key ingredients
Chicken breast or thighs, bell peppers (various colors), onion, roasted peanuts, soy sauce (or tamari), ginger, garlic, sesame oil, chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Explicitly confirm no sugar or cornstarch in the sauce. Request extra peanuts. Ensure no rice or noodles are served.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars or cornstarch in restaurant stir-fry sauces; higher carb content from generous portions of bell peppers; small amount of natural carbs from peanuts and soy sauce.
