Ingredients
- - 500g boneless skinless chicken thighs
- - 1/2 cup soy sauce or coconut aminos
- - 1/4 cup water
- - 2-3 tablespoons granulated erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- - 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- - 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- - 1 teaspoon minced ginger
- - 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- - 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum optional, for thickening
- - Sesame seeds & sliced green onions for garnishing purpose
Instructions
- Let's craft our teriyaki marinade masterpiece. In a bowl, blend soy sauce, water, sweetener, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger with care.
- Now, take a sealable bag, nestle those chicken thighs in along with the marinade, and let the flavors mingle for a minimum of 30 minutes.
- Take the sesame oil in a large skillet and heat it over medium-high heat. Extract the chicken from its marinade bath, bid farewell to the used mix, and let each side sizzle for 6-7 minutes until the internal temperature dances to 165°F (75°C).
- Back in the skillet, introduce the reserved teriyaki marinade. Sprinkle in some xanthan gum to weave that thickening magic, whisking until your sauce achieves the perfect consistency.
- Reintroduce the cooked chicken to the skillet, ensuring every piece dons the teriyaki coat. Let them mingle for 2-3 minutes, letting the sauce work its glazing wonders.
- Once your chicken wears its glaze proudly, gracefully retire it from the heat. Before presenting this culinary creation, sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions for that crowning touch. Enjoy the fruits of your flavorful labor!
