Today is the last day of my week of Agave recipes. I’ve appreciated everyone that stopped and all the great comments. I had fun trying the agave in different recipes and thinking about ways to reduce the sugar and calories in the foods I’m making.
I never make Teriyaki chicken at home before because one of my sons doesn’t like sauce on this chicken. But my nephew recommend this Teriyaki Sauce recipe from the Xagave cookbook, so I decided to try it and see how it would go over. I was so surprised when my sauceless son said, “Mom, this chicken is really good.” And it was really good.
I grilled the chicken and added the sauce the last few minutes of the cooking time so that it would have time to caramelize just a bit but not burn. I cut the recipe in half and still had some left over. Here’s the recipe cut in half.
Agave Teriyaki Sauce
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup water
1 T. white rice vinegar
3 T. Xagave
1 1/2 t. minced garlic
1 1/2 t. minced ginger
1 T. corn starch (mixed with 1 T. water)
Combine all ingredients (except corn starch) in a blender. Pour blended ingredients in pan and bring to boil. Once sauce begins to boil, immediately reduce to simmer. Mix corn starch and water and add to sauce, stirring constantly until thickens (about one minute.)

I'll have to look beyond my little town for agave syrup. Love teriyaki sauce, especially on grilled chicken. Thanks for a week of delicious recipes.
You are making so many amazing things with your agave syrup. I bet this tasted amazing:)
I think I'm going to have to break down and get some agave sweetener. You have made it sound very tasty!!!
I haven't used agave at all, it's nowhere to be found in the supermarkets near me (in Australia). I would like to try it, thanks for the recipes :)

Your grilled chicken looks gorgeous!! Sounds so flavorful.
I need to start looking through the cookbook I got with my xagave…all your recipes are making me hungry.
This looks delicious, Barbara! I love agave but haven't used it is a savory recipe yet. This one might just be my first!
This looks so good. I really need to soup up my chicken. We have been eating a lot more of it lately. This seems like a good sauce to help us from getting tired of it!
This one looks like a winner! I have got to go get more Agave nectar! I am completely out right now!
Which recipe was your favorite??
I've seen agave at the grocery but wasn't sure about it. After seeing this savory chicken, I have to give it a try.
This agave recipe looks great! I should definitively try the agave I have in my fridge, it seems like a must!
That looks so glisteningly good Barbara! I can really imagine that it would make a convert out of the most sauce resistent among us! :)
This looks delicious!
I love agave but haven't used it is a savory recipe.

I'm always on the lookout for foods my diabetic mother can eat. I'll have to put this in my folder of things to make for her, thanks!
OOOoooo that agave touch to the sauce is great!! I will give it a try!
Love your agave syrup recipes. I had to go on a doctor-prescribed elimination diet to see if it would help with chronic pain. I couldn't eat processed sugar, so agave came into my life. Great stuff.
I love teriyaki sauce!! I always bought them from the stores, didn't think of making them myself before. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

This is the second teriyaki sauce I have seen in the last two minutes. Is this a hint? I am taking it.
hi Barbara, I’m so excited to find this recipe! I recently purchased some teriyaki sauce and was wishing I could make it myself. I love using agave nectar in cooking and baking since it’s a low-glycemic sweetener, and I’m really looking forward to making this sauce the next time we have stir fry. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe! :) Cheers! sheila
