Notes
Use hot oil when you saute the chicken. Cook it over medium heat or medium-high heat.Drain any excess oil from the chicken. I used a slotted spoon and paper towel, which seemed to work really well.Use a large frying pan which will give you plenty of room to saute everything.For a little extra flavor, add a dash of sesame oil to the olive oil as you saute the chicken. Any neutral flavoured oil that is keto-friendly will work.Add Thai chillies or Taiwanese salt for a really authentic taste.
