Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 0.5 cup Low-sodium soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Coconut aminos
• 0.5 cup Pineapple juice (unsweetened)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh ginger
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Stevia
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Cold water
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 2 stalks Scallions

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, coconut aminos, pineapple juice, grated fresh ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and stevia.

Step 2

Whisk together until well blended to create the teriyaki marinade.

Step 3

Place the chicken breasts in a gallon-sized plastic zip bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the chicken.

Step 4

Seal the bag or cover the dish, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 6 hours for more intense flavor.

Step 5

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Step 6

Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and place it on the grill.

Step 7

Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear.

Step 8

While the chicken is grilling, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil.

Step 9

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water to form a slurry.

Step 10

Slowly add the cornstarch slurry to the boiling marinade, stirring constantly, until thickened.

Step 11

Once thickened, remove the sauce from heat.

Step 12

Serve the grilled chicken hot, drizzled with the thickened teriyaki sauce.

Step 13

Garnish with sesame seeds and finely chopped scallions before serving.
