Instructions:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce or coconut aminos, erythritol, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook until they are browned on both sides and cooked through. This should take about 6-8 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, pour in the teriyaki sauce mixture and let it simmer for a couple of minutes. If you’d like the sauce to thicken, you can whisk in a small amount of xanthan gum at this point.
- Slice the cooked chicken into thin strips and return them to the skillet. Coat the chicken with the teriyaki sauce and let it simmer for a few more minutes.
- Serve the Keto Chicken Teriyaki garnished with sliced green onions, if desired.
