Have you been craving keto Chinese food like crazy? I know I have! Did you know with a few simple substitutions, you can make this easy Keto Teriyaki Chicken in less than 30 minutes? Let me show you how!
KETO TERIYAKI SAUCE
Of course, what makes teriyaki chicken is the sauce. Store bought sauce is loaded with sugar and thickeners like corn starch.
For our keto teriyaki sauce, we are using 6 simple ingredients: soy sauce, brown sugar substitute, garlic, ginger, water, and xanthan gum.
After we brown the chicken, we pour this delicious sauce in the skillet and let it simmer with the chicken until it thickens and coats the chicken pieces.
Now we just serve this Keto Teriyaki Chicken topped with green onions and with some cauliflower fried rice.
Some other low carb 30 minute meals worth repeating are…Keto bang Bang Shrimp, Pan Seared Salmon and Avocado Salsa, Ground Beef Stroganoff, Quesadillas in the Oven, and Crack Slaw.

For the cauliflower fried rice to accompany this dish, do you use your chicken cauliflower rice casserole recipe minus the chicken? Or do you have a separate recipe. Thank you for your great recipes!
Yes, thats the recipe I would use without the chicken. If you want, you could make it like traditional fried rice instead of baking it in the oven
Looks yummy! In your video, it shows cooking the chicken thighs in the Instant Pot, but don’t see those instructions. Could you add those, please. Thank you in advance.
The Instant pot was not used in this recipe.
Thank you, I can’t wait to try!
