What it is
A popular Chinese-Brazilian fusion dish, made keto-friendly. Diced chicken stir-fried with colorful bell peppers, onions, and crunchy peanuts, all coated in a savory low-carb sauce made with tamari, ginger, garlic, a keto-friendly sweetener, and thickened with xanthan gum instead of cornstarch.
Key ingredients
Chicken breast/thighs, bell peppers (red, green, yellow), onions, peanuts, tamari (or coconut aminos), ginger, garlic, olive oil, sesame oil, keto sweetener, xanthan gum, chicken broth, green onions.
If you order it anyway
Request low-carb sauce (no cornstarch, sugar-free tamari/coconut aminos, keto sweetener). Ensure no sugary sauces or rice are served with it.
Watch out for
Bell peppers, onions, and peanuts contribute to carb count. Cross-contamination with sugary sauces in a non-keto restaurant kitchen. High sodium from tamari.
