For pistachio sauce:

Chicken stir fry:

  • 1 lb chicken breast
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 cup mushrooms
  • 1 cup bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup tomato fresh
  • 1/2 cup brussels sprout
  • 1/2 cup carrots chopped, optional

Instructions

  • Add the remaining vegetables and stir well. You can cook them soft or only cook for a few minutes so they’re still crunchy.
  • Finally, add pistachio sauce and mix well. Remove from heat and serve.

Notes

*If you want to make this dish even more keto-friendly, swap pistachio with cashew and replace carrots with other lower carb veggies.
