    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.

    keto Chinese food

    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.

    Ingredients

    • 2 Tablespoons avocado oil

    • ¼ Cup Soy Sauce or Coconut Aminos

    • ½ Cup water
    • ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum
    • Sesame seeds and sliced green onions for a garnish

    Method

    1. Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-hi heat.  Add the chicken and sauté' until cooked through...about 8 minutes.
    2. In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, sugar substitute, garlic, ginger, water, and xanthan gum.  Whisk to combine.  Pour the sauce into the skillet with the chicken and reduce the heat to medium.  Continue cooking for a few more minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
