Ingredients

  • 3 organic chicken breasts, cut into 1 1/2-inch piece
  • 3 cups broccoli, steamed

TERIYAKI SAUCE

  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce (or liquid aminos)
  • 3 Tablespoon coconut sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon sesame oil

  • 2 teaspoon corn starch

Instructions

  1. Whisk all of teriyaki sauce ingredients in a small bowl. 
  2. On medium heat, in a cast-iron skillet brown chicken in oil until cooked on all sides and slightly crispy. *If pan isn't hot enough the chicken will steam so make sure pan is hot but not burning.*

  4. Stir in broccoli with chicken and sauce. Serve over rice with sprinkled sesame seeds and enjoy! 

 Notes
What to Serve with Teriyaki Chicken
You can serve teriyaki chicken over white or brown rice, or quinoa. To get more veggies into your recipe, add sauteed peppers or carrots in with your chicken. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onion!
 Extra Tips for Making Teriyaki Chicken
For protein in this recipe, you can use chicken breasts, cutlets, or boneless/skinless thighs.
Other natural sweeteners you can use if you don't have coconut sugar - agave, honey, or maple syrup.
Make as meal prep: store in sealed containers over rice/quinoa and enjoy throughout the week.
Add extra vegetables to your teriyaki chicken like sauteed carrots (shredded or sliced), cauliflower, mushrooms, or sliced peppers.
Cooking tools: I love using my cast iron skillet to cook this recipe. You can also use stainless steel or a wok.
