Description

A healthier take on classic teriyaki using primal-approved ingredients for clean and nutritious eating.


Ingredients

  • Chicken breast, boneless and skinless
  • Coconut aminos
  • Honey (or maple syrup)
  • Minced garlic
  • Freshly grated ginger
  • Sesame oil (or avocado oil)
  • Chopped green onions
  • Sesame seeds (optional)


Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix coconut aminos, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add chicken, ensuring it’s nicely coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add sesame oil. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Pour the leftover marinade into a small saucepan and simmer for about 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  4. Drizzle the sauce over the chicken and gently toss to coat evenly.
  5. Plate the chicken and sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

For best flavor, marinate the chicken overnight. Serve over cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles for a complete meal.
