This Low Carb Chicken Stir Fry Recipe will easily become a staple on your dinner menu. We’ve got chicken, vegetables and low carb noodles teaching how to make them all come together to make a chicken stir fry that taste great!
I love stir fry. It’s a staple in our household. Ever better still is noodle stir fry!
Anything with noodles tends to get my vote so when shirataki noodles (affiliate link) were discovered we were over the moon.
Shirataki noodles are absolutely delicious if cooked properly and if they have the right additions. You can’t use them wet out of the package because they will taste just awful. But dry-fry them first and it’s a whole other ballgame!
HOW TO MAKE SHIRATAKI NOODLES TASTE GREAT.
- Most critical thing is to remember not only do you have to rinse and drain them. BUT YOU HAVE TO DRY-FRY also.
- Once you’ve rinsed and drained them, just transfer them to a dry pan and saute them until all the moisture on the bottom of the pan is gone.
If you skip this step, you will not be happy with how these taste. But the good news is, it only takes minutes to do this, and then you can stir in whatever ingredients you like!
This stir fry cooks up nice and quick if you have the ingredients ready to go.
Don’t have a chicken breast cooked and ready? Used canned chicken instead! Just be sure to check the ingredients on the can. Those food manufacturers can be sneaky little buggers!
THE NOODLES in our Low Carb Chicken Stir Fry:
(I was not paid to promote these. I just found them at the store and liked them.)
These are just 2 net carbs for the entire package and are made with konjac flour, chickpea flour, and potato starch.
I found mine at Safeway. But I know there are other manufacturers out there. There are some shirataki noodles on the market which are higher in carbs. So be sure you get these or some that are zero carbs (they do exist, I have just never found them.).

Nutrition Info
I have never eaten Shirataki noodles so I had a bit of trepidation about making this recipe. I also had a difficult time finding a store that carried them but a new HEB, which is fairly close to me, carries the Miracle Noodle brand. I’m happy I went to the trouble of tracking them down because the stir fry was really, really good. Instead of chicken breast, I cubed some smoked turkey from yesterday’s Easter feast. Scrumptious!
Ronalyn – Fantastic!! They can be difficult to find, but as you say, it’s worth the effort! I’m so happy you enjoyed it!
I have been eating Shirataki pastas a long time. Miracle Noodles on line has a several styles. Why is the calorie count so high? .The ingredients don’t seem to add up to 325 per serving. Love to try you recipe soon.
Barbara – That’s just what I got when I entered the recipe into the calculator. There are 3 tbsp. of oil in there, so it adds up. You can use less if you prefer. I just added plenty to make sure it fit my keto eating plan.
