Ingredients

  • Chicken breast - 300 grams
  • Sake - 60 ml
  • Coconut aminos - 60 ml
  • Honey - 1 tablespoon
  • Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
  • Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
  • Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
  • Green onions - 2, chopped
  • Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon
  • Zucchini - 1 medium, sliced
  • Bell pepper - 1 medium, sliced

Steps

  1. In a bowl, combine sake, coconut aminos, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Mix well to create the teriyaki sauce.
  2. Slice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and marinate it in the teriyaki sauce for at least 15 minutes.
  3. While the chicken is marinating, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced zucchini and bell pepper, and stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until tender. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add the marinated chicken along with the remaining teriyaki sauce. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
  5. Once the chicken is done, add the stir-fried vegetables back into the skillet and toss everything together for another 2-3 minutes.
  6. Serve the Sake Teriyaki hot, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
