Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
• 0.5 cup Soy sauce, low-sodium
• 0.25 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar substitute
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
• 2 teaspoons Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, sliced (for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the soy sauce, water, sugar substitute, apple cider vinegar, minced ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil. Stir until the sugar substitute is fully dissolved.

Step 2

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Lower the heat to medium and pour the teriyaki sauce mixture into the skillet. Whisk in the xanthan gum thoroughly to combine with the sauce.

Step 4

Allow the sauce to simmer for about 3-4 minutes until it starts to thicken.

Step 5

Return the cooked chicken thighs to the skillet and coat them with the sauce. Allow them to simmer in the sauce for an additional 5-7 minutes, ensuring the chicken is well-coated and heated through.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from heat and let the chicken rest for a couple of minutes. Slice the chicken thighs into strips.

Step 7

Garnish the teriyaki chicken with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving. Serve hot and enjoy your low carb meal!
