    Keto teriyaki chicken

    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.
