Chicken Teriyaki (soy & gluten free)
Everyone loves a good teriyaki, but for those with food restrictions its often abandoned as an option. This version is gluten and soy free, but full of the teriyaki flavor we all crave.
Ingredients
- 8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut into 2in pieces
- 1/2 red onion cut into 1in pieces
- 2 cups pineapple chunks fresh works better than canned
For the Marinade
- 1/2 cup Coconut Aminos Teriyaki Sauce Coconut Secret brand used here
- 1 tbsp Coconut Aminos Hoisin Sauce Coconut Secret brand used here
- 4 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 2 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tbsp lemon juice fresh squeezed
- 1-2 tbsp honey to preferred sweetness
- 3 tbsp avocado oil
- 2 tsp freshly grated ginger 1/2 tsp powder works, but isn't as good
Instructions
Marinade the chicken
- In a bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients and add the chicken and onion. Marinate on the counter for at least 30 minutes or in the fridge 2-6 hours. Do not add the pineapple to the marinade.
- When ready to grill, skewer the ingredients, adding a piece of red onion between each of the other ingredients. Grill on indirect heat for 15-20 minutes, brushing with the marinade, then finish over direct heat.
