Keto Chicken Chow Mein
We received bean sprouts in our organic share package this week so instead of making egg foo young (a standard with bean sprouts) I decided to try my hand at a Keto Chow Mein. An easy stir fry and you won’t miss the noodles because the bean sprouts add the crunch. Totally Keto and totally delicious. Best to have a good knife and a food processor for this one.
