Tips for Keto Chicken and Broccoli Stir-Fry

Cut the chicken into evenly sized thin slices so it cooks at a similar pace throughout.
The broccoli is ready when its color is vivid and the stems are easily pierced but still offer a little resistance.
Use a wide pan to avoid crowding; a crowded pan can make the chicken and broccoli steam rather than brown.

Drink pairing

A dry sparkling wine
Its crisp acidity and bubbles complement the savory soy, ginger, and garlic without overwhelming the chicken and broccoli.

0% option: Sparkling water with a squeeze of lemon

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a covered container and use within 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell when the chicken is done?

The thickest pieces should be opaque all the way through, with no pink center; cut one open to check.

Can I make this ahead?

For the best texture, cook it just before serving. You can slice the chicken and prepare the broccoli, garlic, and ginger ahead, then refrigerate them separately.
