Ingredients

• 1 pound Chicken breast
• 0.5 cup Coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Stevia (or monk fruit sweetener)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
• 2 stalks Green onions
• 8 pieces Wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

Soak wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes (if using wooden skewers) to prevent burning on the grill.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and stevia. This will be the sugar-free teriyaki marinade.

Step 4

Reserve 1/4 cup of the marinade in a separate bowl for basting during cooking.

Step 5

Place chicken cubes into the remaining marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour to allow the flavors to penetrate.

Step 6

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using an oven, preheat to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.

Step 7

Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.

Step 8

Grill the skewers for 8-10 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes and basting with the reserved marinade. Ensure the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). If baking, place skewers on the prepared sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through and basting.

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the skewers from heat and let them rest for a couple of minutes.

Step 10

Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the skewers before serving. Enjoy!
