Teriyaki recipes typically call for sugar, cornstarch, garlic, soy sauce… which are all on the list of no-no’s for SIBO.

This alternative is easier, lighter, healthier. Serve over sliced baby bok choy or white rice. Serves 4.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut in quarters

  • ½ cup coconut aminos

  • 2 tablespoons clover honey

  • 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, peeled and grated

  • 2 teaspoons sea salt

  • 2 teaspoons garlic oil

  • 2 teaspoons Asian toasted sesame oil

  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds and chopped cilantro for garnish (optional)

DIRECTIONS

  1. Blend aminos, honey, ginger, salt, garlic and sesame oils, then pour into crockpot.

  2. Add chicken and toss to coat.

  3. Cook on low for 3 hours.

  4. Remove chicken to a bowl with a slotted spoon, and pour juice into a medium saucepan.

  5. Reduce juices by about half, so sauce can thicken and flavors intensify.

  6. Stir chicken back into saucepan to coat.

  7. Serve over thinly sliced bok choy (the warm chicken will cook it enough) or ½ cup white rice.

  8. Garnish with sesame seeds and cilantro.
