Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
For the Teriyaki Sauce
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey or brown sugar
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, minced
- 1 tsp garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp cornstarch, mixed with 2 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sesame seeds and chopped green onions, for garnish
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, honey or brown sugar, rice vinegar, water, ginger, and garlic until well combined.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat vegetable oil. Season chicken pieces lightly with salt and pepper, then cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce over the cooked chicken and stir to coat.
- Reduce heat to low. Mix cornstarch with water to make a slurry and add it to the skillet. Stir well until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions on top. Serve hot with rice or noodles.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the teriyaki sauce for 30 minutes before cooking. Adjust sweetness by using honey or brown sugar to taste.
