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!

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.

Then for the chicken marinade, add some pineapple juice, pineapple chunks, fresh chives and some spices to the teriyaki sauce.  Marinate in the fridge for at least six hours.  They come out so tender and delicious!  
 
We add veggies that have lots of color like red bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, and fresh pineapple chunks to the skewers with the chicken pieces.  Then grill ’em up!

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.

You get one life - do your best to ENJOY IT! So hi, I'm Deana. This food blog is all about cooking wholesome real food and developing gluten-free recipes for some of our favorite comfort foods. I had to start eating gluten-free in 2010, then cut dairy and casein (except for the occasional Parmesan) in 2014. We learned A2 casein (goat, sheep and buffalo milk) is easier to digest than the predominate A1 form in cow milk. So we brought back goat milk dairy into our recipes in 2016. Thank goodness, right! So I'm kind of a science nerd, too. In the '90s, I earned an undergrad degree in biochemistry from The University of Texas at Austin. Hook 'em! Then followed up with a PhD in biochemistry and a law degree from the University of Houston. I recently earned a certificate in genomics/sequence analysis from Johns Hopkins University, where I also took a very cool food microbiology course. Currently, I'm learning about the microbiome and gut health. And trying to come up with healthy recipes to feed those gut bugs! #feedthegutbugs
