I'm getting a little tired of trying to substitute carb-based foods for Keto equivalent and have been getting a little demotivated and generally fed up of this way of eating, so tonight I just wanted to cook something fresh and new.
This is probably the nicest dish I have made while on Keto, and I highly recommend that you give it a try. I'm not going to give you nutrition information as I expect you to use your own measurements to suit your own personal macros. Think of this as inspiration.
Chicken
For the chicken I covered it with a generous amount of Chinese Five Spice, Salt, and Szechuan Pepper. I then fried the chicken in Butter (a slice from the stick), Coconut (about 2 heaped tablespoons of cold cream - just enough for there to be a little "sauce" in the pan) Cream, and a few slices of (not even a full one) Red Chili Pepper, and Ginger. I actually used freeze dried ginger and chili but fresh is probably better anyway. Cook your chicken until there is no pink in the middle, and the sauce reduced to an almost crispy coating.
Vegetables
Broccoli, Kale, and Spinach. Use majority spinach (pretty much a pan full), but add the broccoli and kale for a varied texture and mixed taste.Once again, fry the vegetables in butter and coconut cream. You will need to add more coconut cream to the veg, maybe twice as much as for the chicken. I also added a dollop of Ricotta Cheese just to add creaminess to the sauce. Also, and this is the key ingredient for the veg - Nutmeg. Nutmeg really brings out the flavour and is a fantastic addition to green veg.
Enjoy!
This is a pretty simple dish, but tastes amazing! It's very moreish and will be devoured by you and your family in seconds! If you find the flavours a little bland (highly unlikely) for your liking, you can add a dash of fish sauce to the chicken. And If you are looking for a little more of a kick then mix up some Grated Chili Pepper, Grated Ginger, Crushed Garlic and Lime Juice, and drizzle over as-is.
