Chinese Food

We have been craving Chinese food since starting our path on keto. So we thew something together. Turned out really good.

Based on the nutrition facts I think we could have added a little more green and red pepper. If you are concerned about the bean sprouts I have found that the La Choy canned bean sprouts have lower carbs than fresh. As much as I would prefer the fresh, I really enjoy bean sprouts. I think my next Asian dish is going to be Egg Foo Young :)  Its a bit of a mess to make, but it turns out far better than I have ever had at a Chinese buffet.
The amount of Chicken listed is an estimate. We had a prepackaged portion and just used the whole thing up. We have about 5-6 servings out of the recipe.

We riced up some cauliflower and put it on top but in my opinion its fine without it.
