Notes
For The Coconut Aminos
For this chicken teriyaki recipe, you can either use Coconut Aminos Teriyaki Sauce or Gingery Lime Coconut Aminos. Both of these sauces really add flavor to the finished dish. You can also use regular coconut aminos, but it will have a little less flavor.
You can also try this Whole30 Teriyaki Sauce. If you do that, omit the arrowroot powder and sesame oil from recipe. Simply pour over about half the bottle to your stir-fried chicken and toss to coat, adding more as desired.
