Keto Yum Yum Chicken Slaw

This easy chicken dinner recipe features the famous Yum Yum Sauce that's served at the hibachi restaurants. It's great with chicken, shrimp or steak.

This ketofied sauce isn't my creation — full credit goes to my friend Anna of Keto In Pearls! When I saw Anna's Keto Yum Yum Sauce on Instagram, I knew I had to try it. This chicken slaw seemed like the perfect recipe — quick and easy, delicious and totally effortless!

How To Make Keto Yum Yum Chicken Slaw

To make this easy chicken salad, you'll only need a few ingredients. Once you prepare the Yum Yum Sauce, you'll be pouring it over shredded cabbage, sliced onions, grated carrot and shredded poached chicken breasts.

When I made the Yum Yum Sauce, I kept the ingredients almost unchanged from the original recipe and I only swapped the rice wine vinegar with apple cider vinegar just because I didn't have any. I then tweaked the amounts to make enough sauce for this low-carb chicken salad. You'll need a generous amount to make sure the salad isn't too dry.

Here are a few more tips for the Yum Yum Sauce recipe:

• The original Yum Yum Sauce recipe uses powdered low-carb sweetener (Erythritol or Swerve) which can either be omitted or it can be substituted with a few drops of stevia.
• I used ready-made avocado oil mayonnaise. If you can't get ready-made, you can make your own Mayonnaise by using healthy fats such as avocado oil, walnut oil or macadamia oil.
• I used homemade Fermented Sriracha Sauce but ready-made sriracha will work just fine. Look for sugar-free options.
• Finally, I used tomato paste in mine. For more flavor you can swap the tomato paste with sugar-free ketchup (here's an easy way to make Sugar-Free Ketchup at home).

Step-by-step

1. Prepare the Yum Yum Sauce by mixing all of the ingredients: mayonnaise, tomato paste (or sugar-free ketchup), Sriracha, powdered sweetener, vinegar, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper.

   

2. Thinly slice the onion, cabbage and grate the carrot. To shred the cabbage, you can use the slicing blade of your food processor. Shred the chicken breasts into small pieces.

   

3. Place all the vegetables in a mixing bowl. Add the chicken and the prepared sauce.

   

4. Mix it through until everything is well coated.

   

5. Sprinkle with sliced spring onions, toss to combine and serve. Store in a covered container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
