Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 0.5 cup Coconut aminos
- 0.25 cup Pineapple juice (unsweetened)
- 2 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp Arrowroot powder
- 2 tbsp Water
- 4 cups Cauliflower rice
- 2 cups Broccoli, cut into florets
- 1 cup Carrots, julienned
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, sliced
- 2 tbsp Coconut oil
- 2 Scallions, sliced thinly
- 1 tsp Sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together coconut aminos, pineapple juice, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to make the teriyaki sauce.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Once hot, add the chicken thighs and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Stir-fry the broccoli, carrots, and red bell pepper for 3-5 minutes until tender but still crisp.
While the vegetables are cooking, mix the arrowroot powder with water to create a slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the teriyaki sauce mixture and whisk until thickened.
Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the thickened teriyaki sauce over the chicken and vegetables, stirring to coat everything evenly. Allow to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
In a separate pan, heat the cauliflower rice over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until warmed through.
Spoon the cauliflower rice into serving bowls and top with the teriyaki chicken and vegetables.
Garnish the bowls with sliced scallions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
