This Easy Teriyaki Chicken can be made using skinless, boneless chicken thighs, breasts or tenders.  I absolute love making it using chicken thighs which are more tender and moist in comparison to the breast or tender. The chicken thigh is the darker meat, which means that it is tenderer and more flavorful than the chicken breast.  

A 3 ounces of skinless thigh meat is around 170 calories, 12.8 grams of fat, no carbs and 22 grams of protein. Both chicken thighs and breasts are great sources of lean protein. However, they can differ in the amount of calories, fat and saturated fat. A 3 ounce skinless, chicken breast is around 140 calories, 3 grams of fat, no carbs, and just 1 gram of saturated fat.

For these Easy Teriyaki you will:

Combine, chicken, sesame seeds, minced garlic, and Teriyaki sauce into a large Tupperware container. Stir and coat all the chicken pieces with marinade. Cover or place a lid on the Tupperware and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours to allow the chicken to marinate.

I use G Hughes sugar free Teriyaki marinade for this easy teriyaki chicken. You can find it on Amazon here or at your local grocery store.

If you are unable to find it at your local grocery store, you could substitute it for any other sugar free teriyaki marinade that is available to you.

Place marinated chicken onto a BBQ grill (outdoor grill or cast iron grill skillet pan) pour remaining sauce over the top of the chicken and 

cook on medium high until chicken is no longer pink. About 7-8 minutes on each side.

Serve with your favorite veggie, over cauliflower rice, brown or white rice.

Ingredients: 

• 16 oz. or four (4oz.) boneless, skinless chicken thighs or thin chicken breasts, raw
• 1 cup G. Hughes Sugar Free Teriyaki Marinade 
• 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic
• 1 tsp roasted white sesame seeds 
• 2 green onion, chopped for garnish 

Directions:
