Ingredients

For the Teriyaki Sauce:

  • 1/3 cup coconut aminos , you can also substitute with gluten free tamari or low sodium soy sauce if not soy-free.
  • 4-5 Tablespoons honey , you can also substitute with maple syrup, organic agave syrup, coconut sugar, brown sugar or use a sugar-free sweetener such as monk fruit or Swerve if needed for a lower sugar or lower carb option. You can also leave out the sweetener and sub with blended dates for a Whole30 option.
  • 5 Tablespoons rice wine vinegar OR 4 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
  • 2 Teaspoons sesame oil plus more for drizzling on vegetables (leave out for keto)
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 3/4 teaspoon grated or ground ginger
  • 1/2 Tablespoon tapioca starch , you can also sub with arrowroot starch, cornstarch or 1 teaspoon xanthan gum for keto
  • 4 Tablespoons water

For the Chicken and Vegetables:

  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into even halves, lengthwise (about 1 1/2 pounds)
  • 3 cups broccoli florets about 2 bunches
  • 1 cup sliced carrots

Additional Vegetables (optional):

  • 1/4 cup edamame beans
  • 1/4 cup pineapple chunks
  • green onions and sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

For the Sauce:

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisk together soy sauce, honey, vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, cornstarch, and water until combined. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently, until sauce thickens and bubbles. Remove from heat and set aside.

For the Chicken and Vegetables:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly coat a large sheet pan with cooking spray or for easier clean-up - line pan with parchment paper or foil, set aside.
  2. Season both sides of chicken breasts with salt and black pepper then drizzle 1-2 spoonfuls of glaze over each piece, coating well on both sides. Reserve at least half of the glaze for later.
  3. Cook in preheated oven about 10 minutes then remove the pan from oven. Top chicken with additional glaze, flip chicken and glaze again.
  4. Arrange the broccoli florets, carrots, edamame and pineapple (if using) in a single layer around the chicken. Season with black pepper and drizzle with ¼ teaspoon of sesame oil and teriyaki glaze and toss to coat. Return to the oven and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear. (If chicken is not done after 20 minutes, remove vegetables from pan first to prevent overcooking then return the chicken back to the oven until cooked through.)
  5. Remove pan from oven, slice chicken into strips and drizzle with remaining sauce. Serve over rice or quinoa and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
