Gluten-Free Teriyaki Chicken Skewers

Make homemade gluten-free chicken skewers with homemade teriyaki sauce (GF soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, pineapple juice, brown sugar and garlic powder).

Gluten-Free Teriyaki Chicken Skewers 

One of the big things and reason for this blog is that we take classic comfort foods and make them gluten-free.  It’s easy with a recipe like this to make sure that it is also naturally dairy-free, too.

I think just about everyone loves a teriyaki marinated chicken skewer.  A classic comfort food for sure.  They are really easy to convert to gluten-free by making a homemade teriyaki sauce using GF soy sauce or coconut aminos.  

We make a lot of homemade sauces on this blog because they are just better for you.  I love this Greek salad dressing and homemade Caesar salad dressing with homemade mayo.  Another favorite is using this teriyaki sauce to make a marinade and dressing for Teriyaki Chicken Salad!

homemade gluten-free teriyaki sauce

To make the homemade gluten-free teriyaki sauce you will need:

• 1 cup gluten-free soy sauce (or coconut aminos)
• 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 cup firmly packed organic brown sugar
• 1 tsp garlic powder 
• 1/2 cup pineapple juice

Whisk the ingredients together and store in fridge.  

You could also buy a pre-made teriyaki sauce like Coconut Secrets Coconut Aminos Teriyaki Sauce.   It is Organic, Soy-Free, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free and Non-GMO.

What to Serve with the Chicken Skewers

Personally, I really like to eat these chicken and vegetable skewers with rice. And the go especially well with cilantro lime rice, which is super easy to whip up while the it is marinating.
