Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water (for cornstarch slurry)
  • Green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, keeping them uniform for even cooking.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and water to make the teriyaki sauce. Set aside.
  3. Heat a skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil. Once hot, add the chicken pieces and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and cooked through.
  4. Lower the heat slightly and pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken. Stir to coat evenly.
  5. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Slowly pour this into the skillet while stirring constantly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and clings to the chicken.
  6. Remove from heat and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot over steamed rice, noodles, or sautéed veggies.

Notes

[‘Avoid overcooking the chicken to keep it tender and juicy.’, ‘Taste the sauce before adding it to the chicken to adjust sweetness or saltiness.’, ‘Double the sauce if serving over rice or noodles.’, ‘Cook chicken in batches if your skillet is small to ensure even browning.’]
