💭 faq
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.
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.
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.

Lin says
This recipe sounds incredible, but when you mention, “6 servings”, what size is the serving?
Thanks !

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! 🙂
