Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 1 pound Chicken thighs Bone-in or boneless are both suitable
  • 1/4 cup Coconut aminos Alternative to soy sauce
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced Add more if you love garlic

Method
 

Marinating
  1. Start by marinating the chicken thighs in coconut aminos, minced garlic, and ginger for at least 30 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a bit of oil.
  2. Once hot, add the marinated chicken thighs and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side.
  3. Remove chicken from the skillet and create the teriyaki glaze by adding honey and any leftover marinade to the skillet, cooking until slightly thickened.
  4. Serve the chicken drizzled with the teriyaki glaze.

Notes

Serve hot with steamed vegetables or cauliflower rice. Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions for added flavor.
