Does anyone have a Chinese food inspired chicken idea that's low carb?

We're having homemade Chinese food this weekend and my hubs and has decided he wants to eat a carb-light diet.

I have plenty of recipes but none are "low carb" per se.

Please share. I've googled and looked on Pinterest and am not impressed.

Thank you!!

    I don't need a low carb rice substitute.

    Maybe I wasn't clear, I'm looking a low carb chicken recipe with Chinese flavor.

    I'm with amyrebeccah, the most carb heavy part of Chinese food is usually the rice so that would have been my suggestion as well, to just omit the rice.

    I'm not sure what you're looking for either, a Stir fry recipe? I do some Asian marinades (sesame ginger, Thai peanut) for chicken and grill it but then serve with rice or noodles, veggies, and crab Rangoon usually. What are the Chinese recipes that you normally make that you need to reduce the carbs on?

    Good points. I really-read my post. Left out that most of my recipes are more sweet & sour / general tso's type of coated chicken. He doesn't like Hunan-style type of food.
    I hadn't even considered a possible carb option for crab Rangoon. That would be awesome if you could share links or recipes of other ideas. Thanks!

    I cannot link right now but Google "Chinese Peanut Chicken." What I saw might work for him. :)

    Crab rangoon has zero Chinese flavor though...
