Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
Sauce
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free option)
- 2 tbsp keto-friendly sweetener (such as erythritol or monk fruit sweetener)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger (optional for added flavor)
- 1 tbsp water (to adjust sauce consistency)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Rinse and pat dry the chicken pieces. Cut into bite-sized chunks if not already done, setting them aside for cooking.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until they turn golden brown and are cooked through, about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Make the Teriyaki Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, keto sweetener, minced garlic, and ground ginger. Stir until the sweetener dissolves completely.
- Simmer in Sauce: Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet with the cooked chicken. Add a tablespoon of water if the sauce is too thick. Stir well to coat all the chicken pieces. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and clings to the chicken.
- Serve: Once thickened, remove from heat and serve immediately. This keto teriyaki chicken pairs well with steamed vegetables or cauliflower rice for a complete keto meal.
Notes
- Use tamari sauce instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free version.
- Adjust the sweetness of the sauce to your taste by adding more or less keto-friendly sweetener.
- For extra flavor, add chopped green onions or sesame seeds as a garnish.
- Ensure to use a keto-approved sweetener to keep the recipe low-carb.
