Chicken Teriyaki in Arrowroot Wraps

Serves: 4|Prep: 20 minCook: 20 min

Chicken teriyaki is a firm favourite amongst children and adults alike. Most teriyaki sauces are filled with empty sugars and are loaded with sodium. This healthy version tastes delicious, obtaining its flavour from a combination of raw honey mixed with tamari. Little ones can help in the kitchen by preparing the ingredients for the sauce and mixing them together. Aside from the chicken teriyaki, which is sure to be a WINNER!! This dish also contains my family’s favourite arrowroot wraps. These can be eaten alone or filled with just about anything. We love the combination of the arrowroot wraps and tasty teriyaki chicken. See The Wholesome Child Book for more ways to enjoy them.
