Chicken Teriyaki Sugar-Free Sauce Ingredients
This is the easiest keto teriyaki sauce blend you can make at home! It needs only pantry staples, and it bursts with flavor. You’ll need:
- Low-sodium soy sauce – If you’re looking for a gluten-free sauce use Tamari or Coconut Aminos for a soy-free alternative.
- Brown sugar substitute – I love to use a brown sugar alternative to replace granulated sugar that’s usually in teriyaki sauce which balances the taste.
- Rice vinegar
- Sesame oil
- Ginger
- Garlic
- Xanthan Gum
How To Make Keto Teriyaki Chicken
- You’ll need to heat oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Stir-fry the chicken until beautifully browned and cooked through.
- Meanwhile, prepare the teriyaki sauce mixture.
- Remove the chicken from the pan and fry the garlic and freshly minced garlic until fragrant.
- Pour the sauce and simmer for a few minutes or until the sauce starts to thicken. Add the chicken and stir well.
- So easy, right? Serve it warm over cauliflower rice and steamed veggies of choice.
How To Serve Teriyaki Chicken?
The best sides for keto teriyaki chicken are cauliflower rice and steamed broccoli. Drizzle some extra thick sauce from the pan for a mindblowing flavor. Toasted sesame seeds and sliced spring onions are a great addition to this chicken recipes.
