    This is an easy one pan recipe for a Healthy Chicken Teriyaki dish. It needs simple ingredients and barely 30 minutes to throw together. Keto. Low-Carb. Gluten-Free. Paleo.

    A healthy chicken teriyaki is quite easy to make. Most of the ingredients are clean, it's usually the sauce that's the problem with store-bought or restaurant dishes.

    This recipe has a DIY simple and healthy teriyaki sauce with minimal ingredients. If you don't include soy sauce in your diet, feel free to substitute with coconut aminos for an equally delicious sauce.

    💭 faq

    is chicken teriyaki healthy?

    It depends on your ingredients. If you're making a healthy chicken stir fry from scratch and using whole ingredients, then it can be very good for you! Home-cooked is best.

    is teriyaki sauce healthy?

    Once again, it depends on the ingredients. If you're buying store-bought sauce, make sure to read the label so you understand what's going into your body.

    what goes well with chicken teriyaki?

    A great option is coconut rice (if you're not doing keto or low-carb). Sautéed greens also work well. You can ever serve this healthy chicken teriyaki on some noodles.

      I had a hot BBQ chook (ok, chicken for all you non-Aussies!) so did it all and then added the pulled poultry just prior to serving.. It was absolutely totally delicious and have shared the recipe with vegan grand-daughter. Thanks heaps for a new idea with our favourite flesh.

        Hi Lin! Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. In my experience, one serving was just about 2 cups per person. Hope that clears things up for you. Let me know how it turns out if you do give it a try! 🙂
