Description

Teriyaki chicken is a 15 minute meal made with ingredients that you have a home! It's so easy and it comes together in a flash. You'll make it over and over again.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • cooked rice and vegetables for serving (we like broccoli) 

Instructions

  1. Cut the chicken into 1-inch bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a small mixing bowl add the cold water and cornstarch and whisk with a fork to combine well.
  3. Add brown sugar, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ground ginger to the bowl with the cornstarch and whisk everything together.
  4. Heat a large skillet to medium to medium-high heat.
  5. When the skillet is hot add the oil to the pan.
  6. Add the chicken and cook, stirring often, until the chicken is no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
  7. Whisk the sauce together again once more and then add it to the pan with a chicken. 
  8. Stir until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.
  9. Remove from the heat.
  10. Serve over hot cooked rice with your favorite cooked vegetables on the side.

Notes

  • This is a really easy recipe do double and triple if you want more.

You can stir fry them, steam them, roast them in the oven... it's a great time to clean out the fridge and use an assortment. You can also warm up frozen vegetables with it if that's best for you.
