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.

Awesome and yummy!! And easy! Used Swerve which is the best ever sugar substitute! Served over cauliflower rice and with roasted broccoli. No leftovers.
So happy to hear that!
So good!! My husband loved the sauce. I added a few snow peas to the chicken and sauce and served it over steamed broccoli. I’ll definitely make this again.
Super yummy, felt happy after making. But also as a heads up, teriyaki is a Japanese dish ;P
I tried this tonight and I must say it was incredible. I added chili paste over shirataki noodle.
Made this for dinner tonight and was VERY GOOD! My whole family loved it! Followed the recipe exactly but did add broccoli to the chicken and teriyaki sauce and served over cauliflower rice. This is a keeper!
Broccoli is such a good idea!
This was delicious!
Love that this is keto! Can’t wait to make it again, was a hit the first time
Made this tonight and loved it. Even the 3 year old that doesn’t want to eat anything lately loved it.
I tried this recipe, it’s very delicious. I can cook this without going to the Chinese restaurant.
So glad you liked it!
Totally craving Chinese so this might just be dinner. Love recipes like this because I can cook some rice for my girls and everyone will enjoy it!
What is the protein amount? Is their really 44g fiber? Trying to figure out how? Is that maybe a misprint and it’s 44g protein?
Yes, sorry about that. It is 44g protein
Thank you!! Thought so ?
This was really good. However I don’t understand how this is keto/low carb when the sugar substitute I used has 4 carbs per teaspoon and the recipe calls for 3 tablespoons. I mean that adds up.
The carbs from sugar substitutes with sugar alcohols are not counted because they are not processed by the body.
Do u know the nutrition facts for this recipe. Thank u.
yes, it is under Notes in the recipe card
Super delicious!!!!! Served with stir fried veggies and leftover cauliflower rice!!!! So Yummy!
So glad you liked it!
How much is a serving size?
1/5th of the recipe
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!
