Keto Peanut Chicken

Winter calls for peanut butter breakfasts, and my twins love peanuts, so I decided to infuse peanuts with chicken. Needless to say, if you like peanuts, you have to have this Keto Peanut Chicken, which I made with broccoli to infuse some piquancy for my husband.

I made this last night and was amazed by the marvelous taste. The only adjustment I made was to use homemade curry paste instead of green curry because that’s what I had on hand. I decided I would eat two servings because it tasted so gratifying, and I was surprised to be left craving more.

• sea salt and pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• ¾ cup chicken stock

Ingredients

  

• 1 ½ pounds chicken breast, cut into tender sizes pieces
• sea salt and pepper
• ¾ cup chicken stock
• ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

 

• Season the chicken breasts with a little salt and pepper on both sides.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and olive oil. Add the chicken to the skillet and pan-sear until golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes each side.
• Reduce heat to medium-low and add the red peppers and garlic to the skillet. Sauté for an additional 5 minutes, or until the peppers are crisp-tender and the garlic is fragrant.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken stock, peanut butter, soy sauce and red pepper flakes. Whisk until well incorporated. Pour sauce into skillet. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low and let simmer. Let simmer, stirring frequently for 5 minutes or until thickened.

Always be sure to use UNSWEETENED coconut cream. And it’s not a problem. If you don’t have any left from the previous night available for this recipe, you can add the raw sliced chicken in the skillet/pan before the broccoli—season with salt. You can also replace the chicken with seafood or beef or mutton; however, it suits you. Enjoy.
