Gluten-Free Chicken Teriyaki Recipe

Craving delicious, sticky-sweet chicken teriyaki but need a gluten-free option? You’ve come to the right place! This recipe delivers all the flavor you love, without the gluten. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or meal prepping, this gluten-free chicken teriyaki will become a family favorite.

Why Gluten-Free Teriyaki? Traditional teriyaki sauce often contains soy sauce made with wheat. This recipe substitutes tamari, a gluten-free soy sauce alternative, to keep things safe and delicious. You won’t sacrifice any flavor, promise!

Ingredients:

• 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1/4 cup tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons cold water
• Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, whisk together tamari, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic powder.
2. Add the chicken to the marinade and toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and cold water to create a slurry.
4. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken (reserving the marinade). Cook until chicken is cooked through and browned, about 6-8 minutes.
5. Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet. Bring to a simmer.
6. Slowly drizzle in the cornstarch slurry, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
7. Serve immediately over rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions, if desired.

Tips and Variations:

• For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade for a little heat.
• You can use chicken breasts instead of thighs, but be careful not to overcook them.
• Serve with steamed broccoli or your favorite vegetables for a complete meal.
