Ingredients
1 pound chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces, 3 tbsp. arrowroot powder (or cornstarch), 1.5 tbsp. avocado olive oil, ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce, 1/2 cup chicken broth or vegetable broth, 4 garlic cloves, minced, 1 tbsp. brown sugar (or swerve brown granular), 1 tbsp. hoisin sauce (omit for keto), 1.5 tsp. sesame oil, 1 cup whole cashews
Method
Place chicken in a large bowl and toss with arrowroot or cornstarch. Heat avocado oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat; add chicken and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until brown and crispy. While the chicken is cooking, whisk soy sauce, chicken broth, garlic, brown sugar, hoisin and sesame oil in a small bowl. Add to the wok along with the cashews and toss with chicken. Cook until the sauce is thickened, about 5-8 minutes. Enjoy!
Lemon Yoghurt Cake
Ingredients
For the cake
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 cup plain whole-milk Greek yoghurt, 1 cup sugar, 3 eggs, 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest (2 lemons), 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, 1/2 cup vegetable oil (or olive oil), 1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
For the glaze
1 cup confectioners’ sugar, 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Method
– For the first step, you will have to preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 180 degrees Celcius. Grease and flour the pan.
– For the next step, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt into one bowl. Once you are done with your dry ingredients, in another bowl, you whisk together the yoghurt, 1 cup sugar, the eggs, lemon zest, and vanilla. Mix them continuously until you get a smooth consistency.
– Next, you will have to slowly whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Now, using a rubber spatula, fold the vegetable oil into the batter, making sure it’s all incorporated.
– Finally, pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 50 minutes, or until a cake tester placed in the centre of the loaf comes out clean.
– For the glaze mix the sugar and the lemon juice nicely. Once your cake comes to room temperature, top with glaze to get that extra tangy taste. This cake is extremely easy to make and the recipe will especially come in handy if you are also a little sceptical about ordering food from outside.
