A quick and easy healthy takeout recipe you can make at home, this Low Carb Lo Mein recipe is keto friendly.
Cut the chicken breast into thin strips.
Marinate the chicken in dry sherry, coconut aminos, garlic, and peeled and grated fresh root ginger (do not use powdered ginger) for 30 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating slice the green bell pepper and green onions as directed
Using a julienne peeler or spiralizer, prepare the yellow squash into noodles.
Microwave the zucchini noodles in a covered dish for up to one minute until they are just barely cooked. Then place on a paper towel and pat dry to remove excess liquid.
Heat 1 tbsp coconut oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat until hot, then drain the chicken from the marinade (reserve marinade) and add to the pan and let it cook for about 4 minutes per side, then remove from the pan.
Add 1 tbsp of coconut oil, then the green bell pepper slices, and cook them for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Pour in the remaining marinade and cook it for a further 1-2 minutes over a medium heat then add back the chicken, zucchini noodles, green onions and finally the sesame oil and stir it all really well to mix the flavors.
Serve immediately while hot from the skillet, and sprinkle with red pepper flakes if desired.
Root Ginger - use only root ginger, this is not interchangeable with powdered ginger that you typically use in baking. You should be able to find ginger root at any grocery store so just ask if you are not sure. You need to peel it first and then grate it or finely chop it.
Storage - While you can reheat this recipe, I think it's best served right away as the 'zoodles' tend to get soggy when they are left sitting for a while. However, if you don't mind that it will keep for three or four days in the fridge.
Substitutions - you can sub the yellow squash for a green zucchini instead, and if you don't use alcohol you can omit the sherry but it may negatively affect the flavor of the recipe.
Carb Count - soy sauce usually has less carbs than coconut aminos, and the carbs can vary quite a bit between coconut amino brands. I prefer to use coconut aminos as it's milder and naturally sweeter even though it adds a few more carbs.
