  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 5 servings

Ingredients

Chicken Skewers

  • 10 chicken tenders (about 2 lbs)
  • 3 tbsp coconut aminos
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Hibachi Veggies

  • 3 small zucchinis
  • 3 carrots (omit for keto)
  • 1 cup mushrooms
  • 1 small yellow onion
  • 3 tbsp coconut aminos
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Bang Bang Sauce

  • 1/2 cup mayo (see notes for homemade version)
  • 1 tsp coconut aminos
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 1/2 tbsp compliant sriracha sauce (see notes for homemade version)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Chicken Skewers: Season the chicken tenders with salt and pepper. Thread 2 chicken tenders onto each skewer. Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tbsp of olive oil. Once hot, place the chicken skewers in the pan.
  2. Cook Chicken Skewers: Pour 1 tbsp of coconut aminos over each skewer while cooking. Allow the skewers to cook for 6 minutes on each side, or until the chicken juice runs clear, ensuring they are fully cooked and tender.
  3. Prep Hibachi Vegetables: Clean the mushrooms, peel and slice the carrots (omit carrots if following keto), cut zucchinis in half lengthwise and slice, and roughly chop the yellow onion.
  4. Cook Hibachi Vegetables: Heat a separate medium pan over medium-high heat with 1 tbsp olive oil. Add all the prepared veggies along with 3 tbsp coconut aminos, salt, pepper, and ground ginger. Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and nicely glazed.
  5. Make Bang Bang Sauce: In a bowl, combine mayo, coconut aminos, garlic powder, and sriracha sauce. Stir well until fully mixed and creamy.
  6. Serve: Plate the cooked chicken skewers atop the hibachi veggies and drizzle evenly with the Bang Bang Sauce for a delicious, flavorful finish.

Notes

  • To reduce carbs, omit the carrots and increase the amount of mushrooms or zucchini instead.
  • For Whole30 compliance, use a no sugar added compliant sriracha such as Yellow Bird.
  • Make homemade mayonnaise in 60 seconds for a fresh and compliant Bang Bang Sauce base.
  • Store any leftovers in a glass container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
