Ingredients for Keto Chicken Stir Fry

This easy Keto Chicken Stir-Fry comes together with just a few basic ingredients that are mostly pantry staples. Here’s what I used for this recipe: 

• Soy sauce (use certified gluten-free, if needed) 
• Rice vinegar
• Brown sugar swerve or Monkfruit (other sweetener of choice if not keto)  
• Sesame oil
• Garlic
• Ginger
• Chicken

I think one of the things that makes stir fry so great are the toppings! Adding elements like nuts, peanuts, cashews or sesame seeds give the perfect bit of crunch.

I also think stir fry is amazing when topped with fresh green onions because it really brings all the flavors together. The toppings are optional, but highly recommended!
