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.

Love it!!! What an awesome dish! I used salmon with teriyaki sauce, and it turned out so nice and tasty. The flavors combine perfectly. The teriyaki adds a sweet, savory touch, and the salmon comes out juicy and delicious. Highly recommended!
