Check out this low-carb, nutrient-packed teriyaki bowl recipe that is sure to please the whole family.
Teriyaki sauce and chicken go together incredibly well, but most teriyaki sauce recipes are full of added sugar. However, this recipe is entirely sugar-free, instead replaced with erythritol to get that signature sweet-salty mix we all recognize and love. The addition of ground ginger, garlic powder, and soy sauce brings some oriental-infused flavor that pairs well with chicken.
Chicken thigh is our preferred meat cut for this recipe. However, feel free to substitute it with chicken breast or drumstick.
The best part of this bowl is layering the different ingredients. The vegetable mix, consisting of zucchini, onion, and broccoli, adds a punch of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber to keep your skin, brain, and digestive system healthy and running at optimum. Adding in some spring onions and sesame seeds gives a nice crunch.
Replace the rice you get with traditional teriyaki bowls with a healthier, lighter substitute—cauliflower. While it might seem like a weird carbohydrate replacement, cauliflower’s slightly crunchy texture and subtle flavor make it a popular rice substitute for many keto recipes, and this one is no different.
This bowl tastes amazing freshly served but will also keep well for a couple of days in the fridge. Ensure the chicken, veggie mix, and cauliflower rice are kept in separate containers, so the ingredients don’t get soggy.
