Description
A delicious teriyaki chicken recipe with rich flavors and a perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- Sesame seeds and green onions (optional, for presentation)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the low sodium soy sauce, honey (or brown sugar), rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
- In another bowl, mix the cornstarch with water until fully dissolved. Then, pour it into the sauce mixture and combine well. Set aside.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add a small drizzle of sesame oil or a splash of water to the pan.
- Once the skillet is hot, add the chicken pieces in a single layer and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until they turn golden brown.
- Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce into the pan with the chicken. Stir well to coat the chicken.
- Bring it to a simmer, allowing the sauce to thicken for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once cooked, remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
- Serve hot over a bed of rice or noodles, and enjoy!
Notes
- For added flavor, marinate the chicken in the teriyaki sauce for 30 minutes before cooking.
- This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables.
