Ingredients:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil (such as olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil)
- 1 tablespoon black peppercorns, crushed
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari (for a gluten-free option)
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon erythritol or a keto-friendly sweetener (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 cup heavy cream or coconut cream (for a dairy-free option)
- Salt to taste
- Chopped fresh cilantro or green onions for garnish
- Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the minced garlic and crushed black peppercorns. Sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
- Add the chicken pieces and cook until they are no longer pink, stirring occasionally. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and bell peppers. Sauté until they become slightly tender, which should take about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet and stir to combine with the vegetables.
- In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce (or tamari), fish sauce, and erythritol. Pour this mixture over the chicken and vegetables and stir well.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, and add the heavy cream or coconut cream. Continue to cook and stir until the sauce thickens, which should take 2-3 minutes.
- Season the dish with salt to taste, but be cautious with the salt, as the soy sauce and fish sauce already provide some saltiness.
- Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro or green onions.
- Serve hot and enjoy your Keto Black Pepper Chicken!
