Keto Garlic Chicken
This recipe is so delicious that you’ll want to lick the plate clean. It has a rich umami-flavored sauce that is sweetened with a honey replacement and spiced up with Sriracha and ginger paste. All the spices and flavors combine to create a chicken that is a blast to eat! It outperforms even restaurant recipes!
Homemade Chicken Strips
The best kind of chicken to use to make homemade chicken strips is boneless skinless chicken thighs. The dark meat is more tender and soaks up the flavor better. You can use chicken breast too, but it won’t be nearly as juicy as the chicken thighs.
Don’t forget the garnish! I love to sprinkle sesame seeds on top, along with some chopped green onions. They add a nice zest to the already flavourful chicken.
Sticky Garlic Chicken
My family loves Chinese food, and this sticky garlic chicken is one of their favorites! When I am making it for my kids, I just use a little less Sriracha and ginger paste.
This chicken tastes delicious with egg roll in a bowl, broccoli fried rice, and low carb sesame cauliflower. The best part is that all of those Chinese keto recipes can be made in under 30 minutes, so they’re not only easy to make they’re also quick too! That’s even faster than it takes for Chinese delivery food to arrive at your house!
Garlic Chicken
This garlic chicken tastes just as delicious the next day as part of your meal prep. In fact, you can chop it up and stir fry it with some cauliflower rice. Or, wrap it up in a large piece of lettuce for a quick and spicy lettuce wrap lunch. There are lots of ways to enjoy it for days after you make it.

You can also turn this into a slow cooker recipe! I love using my slow cooker when I really don’t have time to cook. Just add all the ingredients to the slow cooker and let it cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-6 hours. You might want to make some extra sauce on the stovetop just in case it cooks down too much in the slow cooker.
