Ingredients

The Chicken

  • 21 oz One large chicken breast
  • 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
  • 2 tablespoons Finely chopped chives
  • Salt and pepper to taste

The Teriyaki Sauce

  • 1/4 cup Soy sauce (make sure it's low-carb)
  • 1 tablespoon Avocado oil
  • 1 cup Water
  • 1 tablespoon Vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 Spicy glove
  • 3 envelopes Low-carb sweetener (we suggest Erythritol)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Xanthan gum

Instructions

The Teriyaki Sauce

  • For this recipe, it is essential to prepare the Teriyaki sauce first since in it we will marinate the chicken.
  • Mix all the ingredients together in a medium-sized pot (except Xanthan gum).
  • Heat it over medium heat until the sauce has the desired consistency (about 5-10 minutes).
  • Before finishing cooking, add the diluted gum in warm water (add more water if it's too thick).
  • Very carefully, remove the spicy clove and let it cool.

The Chicken

  • Cut the chicken breast into cubes about an inch thick, dry with kitchen napkins, season with salt and pepper.
  • Place the chicken in a medium glass bowl and cover with half of the teriyaki sauce.
  • Bring the covered chicken to the refrigerator for about two hours while it is in the marinade.
  • In a large skillet place the oil, when it is hot add the chicken cubes one by one so that they are separated from each other. Let them brown on all sides.
  • Add the rest of the teriyaki sauce and turn off the kitchen. Let stand covered.
  • A few minutes before serving, sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped scallions.
