Healthy Chicken Teriyaki made with all gluten-free and paleo-friendly ingredients and ready in under 20 minutes.

Jord is going to be skipping for joy when this is live guys because we made it back in NOVEMBER! Yes – we are crazy over here and make content that far in advance. But with the move and not having a kitchen and then going away to Florida for a few weeks, we had to get our ducks in a row fam!!

But regardless – this beauty is LIVE and ready to be devoured by everyone. And if you love chicken teriyaki and want a healthier version – I gotchu covered baby.

This recipe is paleo-friendly if you cut out the rice and it is SO easy to make. You need less than 20 minutes and you’ll be devouring your healthy and tasty dinner in no time. Plus this is one of those meals that tastes so good cold out of the fridge in my opinion. I am crazy – I know but I love leftovers cold lol!

I cannot wait for you guys to try this!! Let me know what you think baby.
