Have you had a severe urge for keto Chinese food? Certainly, I have! Did you know that you can prepare this quick Keto Teriyaki Chicken in under 30 minutes by making a few straightforward substitutions? I’ll demonstrate how.
SAUCE KEO TERIYAKI
Of course, the sauce is what distinguishes teriyaki chicken. Sugar and thickeners like maize starch are abundant in store-bought sauce.
We are utilizing 6 basic components to make our keto teriyaki sauce: soy sauce, brown sugar alternative, garlic, ginger, water, and xanthan gum.
After browning the chicken, we add this delectable sauce and cook it together in the skillet until it thickens and coats the meat.

INGREDIENTS
- Avocado oil, two tablespoons
- Chicken thighs weighing 2 12 pounds, chopped into 1-inch chunks
- Soy sauce or coconut aminos, 1/4 cup
- 3 Tablespoons of Keto Brown Sugar Alternative
- 1 minced clove of garlic
- Grated ginger, 1 teaspoon
- 1/2 cup water
- xanthan gum, 1/4 teaspoon
- Slivers of green onions and sesame seeds
INSTRUCTIONS
- A big skillet with medium heat is used to heat the avocado oil. About 8 minutes after adding the chicken, it is finished cooking.
- Garlic, ginger, water, soy sauce, sugar replacement, and xanthan gum should all be combined in a medium bowl. Blend by whisking. Mid-heat reduction is achieved by adding the sauce to the skillet holding the chicken. Simmer for a few more minutes(let sauce thickens). Cover the chicken.
- Add sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
TIPS
- As an easy side dish, serve over steamed cauliflower rice. In the frozen department of the supermarket, I enjoy purchasing cauliflower that has already been raked.
Five portions.

The simplest approach is to prepare your own, as is frequently the case for people who desire to follow a low-carb or ketogenic diet.

- Coco-Amino Acids
- alternative to brown sugar (rather than brown sugar!)
- alcohol from apple cider
- onion powder with pepper

HOW TO DO
1.) For at least 15 minutes or overnight, marinate the chicken in 2 tablespoons of keto teriyaki sauce.
2.) Warm the oil(in a pan) over medium heat. The chicken should be added and cooked through after about 5 minutes of medium-high stirring. Remove food off heat. Put it aside.
3.) Add 3 tablespoons of water, 2 tablespoons of Teriyaki Sauce, and butter to a dry nonstick pan. Add the bok choi and heat over a medium flame. Bok choi should just slightly soften but still maintain its crunch, so cook for 1 to 2 minutes with a cover on.
Broccoli should be al dente after 2 to 3 minutes of steaming. You can choose to sauté the bok choi along with it.
4. Reintroduce the chicken and stir everything together until it is heated through.
The konjak noodles should last be heated through, either in the sauce with the chicken mixture or in a separate pan with a little water, rinsed, and drained.
5.) Top the teriyaki chicken stir fry with sliced green onions, optional chillies, coriander, and sesame seeds and serve over konjak noodles or cauliflower rice.
VARIATIONS
You can use chicken breast in place of the skinless chicken thighs I used.
With the vegetables, you really have no restrictions; almost anything will work. Here are some suggestions:
peas in sugar
excellent green beans
peppers, bell
spinach
kale
legume sprouts
shreds of Chinese kale
heart-shaped cabbage
SERVING GUIDE FOR KETO CHICKEN TERIYAKI
Since they surprise taste like “real” noodles, I like to serve this meal using konjac noodles (also known as shiratake noodles). I did this in my recipe for Low Carb Keto Chicken Ramen.
If you’d like, you can also make the dish with extra broccoli and bok choy or with cauliflower rice, broccoli rice, or zucchini noodles (commonly known as “zoodles”).
INGREDIENTS
- 4 skinless chicken thighs weighing 320 grams each,
- diced, 1 cup/100 grams of broccoli florets,
- 1 head of bok choi weighing 70 grams,
- ONE packet of 200 grams of drained konjak noodles,
- 1 tablespoon of butter,
- 4 tablespoons of keto teriyaki sauce, and 3 tablespoons of water.
to assist
- 2 medium spring onions or scallions,
- 1 tablespoon freshly chopped cilantro,
- 1 fresh chilli, and 1/3 teaspoon sesame seeds.
INSTRUCTIONS
- For at least 15 minutes or overnight, marinate the chicken in 2 tablespoons of keto teriyaki sauce.
- Warm(in the pan) oil on medium heat . The chicken should be added and cooked through after about 5 minutes of medium-high stirring. Remove food from heat. Put it aside.
- In a thoroughly clean non-stick pan, combine the butter, 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce, and 3 tablespoons water. Heat Bok choi on a medium burner. Bok choi should be heated for one to two minutes with a lid on so that it softens somewhat but keeps its crispness.
- To make the broccoli al dente, steam it for 2 to 3 minutes. Choosing to sauté the bok choi is an option.
- Reintroduce chicken and stir(until it’s heated) everything together .
- Warm the konjak noodles thoroughly, either in the sauce with the chicken mixture or in a different pan with a little water, then drain and rinse them.
- Serve the teriyaki chicken over konjak noodles and garnish with spring onions, chillies, coriander, and sesame seeds, if desired.
