This chicken teriyaki with rice recipe is super simple and super tasty. Serve it over brown rice and you have yourself once healthy, tasty dish.
What I love about this recipe is that it is so easy to make. It may look like there are a lot of ingredients for this one, but when you combine them all to make the teriyaki sauce, it becomes a simple 30 minute meal you can enjoy with the family.
My favorite ingredient in this recipe is coconut aminos. A superfood that is a great, healthy alternative to soy sauce is so versatile and can be enjoyed without the guilt of soy.
