Chinese food is one of my favorite types of cuisine. Luckily, I’ve come up with a great way to enjoy Chinese food without the excess carbs, zucchini noodles! This Keto Chicken Lo Mein is keto-friendly and full of flavor. You’re going to love it!
Keto Chinese Food
While lots of Asian-inspired meals are carb-heavy, this recipe isn’t. If you’re craving lo mein, try the keto Chinese chicken recipe.
It’s perfect to have for a quick dinner when you want something different than what you’d typically make. My children always get excited when they find out that this is what I’m making for dinner because it’s one of their favorite meals.
About this Easy Keto Dinner Recipe
The Keto Chicken Lo Mein is low in carbs but full of healthy and nutritious ingredients that taste great. It contains fresh skinless chicken breast, broccoli, peppers, and other assorted vegetables that pair perfectly together.
What I like about this dish, other than the fact that it’s safe to eat while following a keto diet, is that it is so healthy. I have no problem getting my kids to eat their veggies when I prepare the easy keto Chinese recipe for them. It’s one of their favorite recipes using keto zucchini noodles.
Ingredients for this Easy Dinner Recipe
Before you get started in the kitchen, make sure you have the right ingredients to prepare the Keto Chicken Lo Mein. Some of the ingredients needed to prepare this zucchini noodle recipe include:
Boneless Chicken Breast - The boneless chicken breast is the main ingredient in this dish. Make sure to buy it without the skin, so it’s less time you need to spend preparing your meal.
Julienned Carrot Strips - The julienned carrot strips add a crunch to the Keto Chicken Lo Mein. They’re a must-have for this veggie-packed dish.
Zucchini - Rather than having traditional lo mein noodles, you’ll be preparing noodles with zucchini instead. It might sound weird, but I promise it’s excellent, and it’s the best way to keep this dish low in carbs.
Bell Peppers - Add more flavor and an extra crunch to the lo mein dish using assorted bell peppers. These peppers are a great source of vitamins and antioxidants, too.
You’ll also need a few other ingredients- such as liquid aminos, chicken broth, and ground ginger
This is to prepare the sauce that you will add to your chicken and vegetables.
How to Freeze the Keto Chicken Faux Mein
Place your Faux Mein into a food storage bag. Let the air out of the bag and then seal it shut. You can fit it in your freezer and keep it fresh for several months.
I would recommend thawing it out and eating it within three months of freezing. TIP- Store the meat and vegetables in one food storage bag and the sauce in another.
