Teriyaki chicken is not typically gluten-free because traditional teriyaki sauce contains soy sauce, which is usually made with wheat. However, it’s possible to make gluten-free teriyaki chicken by using gluten-free soy sauce or tamari and ensuring all other ingredients are also gluten-free.

Protein source: Chicken is a lean protein, essential for muscle growth and repair.
Low in fat: When prepared with skinless chicken breast, it’s a low-fat meal option.
B vitamins: Chicken is rich in B vitamins, particularly niacin, which supports metabolism.
Selenium: Chicken contains selenium, an antioxidant that supports immune function.
Iron: Provides iron, which is crucial for oxygen transportation in the blood.
Ginger benefits: If the teriyaki sauce includes ginger, it can aid digestion and reduce inflammation.
Garlic benefits: Garlic, often used in teriyaki sauce, has antimicrobial and heart-healthy properties.
Soy benefits: Soy sauce in teriyaki contains isoflavones, which may have health-protective effects.
Balanced meal: When served with vegetables and rice, it can be part of a balanced, nutritious meal.
Satiety: The combination of protein and complex carbohydrates can help you feel full longer.Note: The healthiness of the dish can vary greatly depending on preparation methods and portion sizes. Some teriyaki sauces may be high in sugar and sodium, which should be consumed in moderation.

Explore the Science and Benefits of Tolerase® G.
Relief from Gluten Sensitivity
In the fight against gluten, there is a unique supplement that stands out: Little Helpers anti-gluten pills with 100% Tolerase® G.
This specific enzyme, Tolerase® G, a patented endopeptidase specific for proline, was developed by Royal DSM and has been scientifically proven to be effective in breaking down gluten residues ( 1) . Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP), an enzyme closely related to Tolerase® G, can break down gluten so effectively that it barely reaches the duodenum, potentially eliminating gluten toxicity ( 2) ( 3 ) .
On this page we explain why we are so enthusiastic about this supplement, supported by scientific research.

What is Gluten?
Gluten is a group of proteins found primarily in grains such as wheat, barley, and rye. These complex proteins give shape, strength, and texture to bread and other grain products. However, gluten is difficult to digest because it is rich in proline, a non-essential amino acid. This is why about 13% of the world’s population is sensitive to gluten in their diet (1).
How Tolerase® G Works
It is important to note that Tolerase G is designed to have optimal activity in the difficult conditions of the stomach. Its effectiveness on the digestion of gluten in the stomach and duodenum has been scientifically proven ( 1 ).
Studies have shown that a newly identified prolyl endoprotease derived from Aspergillus niger can effectively break down gluten proteins. This enzyme works optimally at a pH of 4–5, remains stable at pH 2, and is completely resistant to digestion by pepsin ( 2 ). Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP) accelerates the breakdown of gluten in the stomach so much that very little gluten reaches the duodenum ( 3 ). This suggests that co-administration of AN-PEP with a meal containing gluten could potentially eliminate gluten toxicity, allowing people to (occasionally) abandon their strict gluten-free diet ( 3 ).
