Extra Tips for Making Teriyaki Chicken

• For protein in this recipe you can use chicken breasts, cutlets, or boneless/skinless thighs.
• Other natural sweeteners you can use if you don’t have coconut sugar – agave, honey, or maple syrup.
• Make as meal prep: store in sealed containers over rice/quinoa and enjoy throughout the week.
• Add extra vegetables to your teriyaki chicken like sautéed carrots (shredded or sliced), cauliflower, mushrooms, or sliced peppers.
• Cooking tools: I love using my cast iron skillet to cook this recipe. You can also use stainless steel or a wok.
