Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
Teriyaki Sauce
- 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 cup water
- 3 Tbsp. packed light brown sugar
- 2 Tbsp. rice vinegar
- 1/2 tsp. sesame oil (optional)
- 1 tsp. ground ginger
- 2 tsp. minced garlic
- 2 Tbsp. honey
- 3 tsp. cornstarch
For Serving
- Sesame seeds for garnish
- Chopped green onions for garnish
- Cooked white or brown rice
- Steamed vegetables of choice
Instructions
- Heat the oil and cook chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cubed chicken breasts and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned on all sides and no longer pink in the center, about 7-10 minutes.
- Prepare the teriyaki sauce: While the chicken is cooking, whisk together 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce, 1/2 cup water, 3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil (optional), 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 2 teaspoons minced garlic, 2 tablespoons honey, and 3 teaspoons cornstarch in a medium mixing bowl until smooth.
- Add sauce to skillet and thicken: Once the chicken is cooked through, pour the prepared teriyaki sauce into the skillet. Continue cooking over medium heat, stirring frequently, as the sauce thickens and coats the chicken evenly, approximately 3-5 minutes.
- Serve: Plate the teriyaki chicken over steamed white or brown rice alongside your choice of steamed vegetables. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve immediately for best flavor.
