Ingredients and substitutions:

You should be able to find all of these simple ingredients at your local grocery store. For the exact measurements refer to the recipe card at the bottom of the post.

• Chicken - boneless, skinless chicken breasts are used to make this delicious teriyaki chicken stir fry. I prefer to use pasture raised chicken but you can use any type of chicken you prefer.
• Broccoli - fresh broccoli is a delicious dark green vegetable that is full of vitamins, minerals and fiber. I recommend using fresh, rather than frozen broccoli for this recipe.
• Bell peppers - sweet bell peppers add both flavour and color to this delicious one pan teriyaki chicken and vegetables. You can use colour of bell peppers that you prefer including yellow bell peppers, orange bell peppers or red bell peppers.
• Carrots - carrots are one of my favorite vegetables to use in stir fry. They add flavour, texture and color to this dish. I recommend using fresh carrots rather than frozen carrots.
• Pineapple - fresh pineapple adds a subtle natural sweetness and flavour to this teriyaki chicken. If you can't find fresh pineapple you can use canned pineapple chunks, just be sure to drain the juice first.
• Coconut aminos - the base of the delicious stir fry sauce on this teriyaki chicken is coconut aminos. It has a subtle sweet flavour that gives the chicken and veggies so much flavour. Instead of coconut aminos you could use soy sauce as well. You can usually find coconut aminos in the gluten free section or organic section of grocery stores.
• Coconut vinegar - this is used to make the sauce on this delicious meal. If you can't find coconut vinegar you could use apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar instead.
• Balsamic vinegar - this helps add a bit of natural sweetness to this chicken recipe and helps tenderize the meat.
• Avocado oil - for making the stir fry sauce for this recipe. You could swap this for olive oil instead.
• Seasonings and spices: sea salt, ground black pepper, ground ginger, and crushed chili flakes (also known as red pepper flakes) add the most amazing flavour to the sauce on this gluten free teriyaki chicken dish.
• Garlic - fresh garlic cloves help pump up the flavour even more in this meal. If you are sensitive to fresh garlic you could swap this for some garlic infused olive oil instead.
• Honey - honey is used to naturally sweeten the homemade teriyaki sauce on this recipe and keep it refined sugar free. You could swap this for maple syrup instead.
• Green onion - for adding even more flavour to this dish. You could swap this for white onion, yellow onion or sweet onion instead.

How to make (step-by-step):

Step one:

First you are going to make the sauce for this teriyaki chicken stir fry by placing all the ingredients into your high speed blender and blending well until smooth.

Step two:

Next you will place the vegetables and pineapple into one bowl and the chopped chicken into another bowl. Then pour 2/3 of the sauce over the vegetables and stir well until coated. Then pour the remaining 1/3 of the sauce over the chicken and stir well until coated.

Step three:

Let all the ingredients marinate for 30-60 minutes.

Step four:

Then preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Next spread all the ingredients over the baking sheet and spread well until you have an even layer.
