Why I Like this Recipe
This glazed teriyaki chicken has everything I love about quick weeknight meals. It has tender chicken, crisp broccoli, and a sauce with the right balance of sweet and savoury. It’s healthier than takeout but still full of flavour.
Tips and Variations
- You can swap the chicken for tofu, tempeh, or salmon. All of these protein options work well.
- Use tamari instead of soy sauce if you need a gluten-free option.
- You can use honey or maple syrup instead of coconut sugar.
- Try serving it with jasmine rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
Meal Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Warm gently on the hob or in the microwave with a splash of water to keep the sauce smooth. Make fresh broccoli and add it to the chicken.
Freezer tips
Freeze only the chicken and sauce in an airtight container at -18 °C for up to 2 months. Leave out the broccoli.
Thaw in the fridge overnight, then reheat until hot.
