There’s nothing quite like the sweet and savory flavors of Teriyaki Chicken to transport you straight to the heart of Tokyo. This recipe holds a special place in my heart, reminding me of my adventurous summer spent exploring Japan’s bustling streets and serene countryside.
- 1 lb of chicken breast, cut into pieces
- 1/4 cup of soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons of honey
- 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon of ginger, minced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons of water
- Sesame seeds (optional)
- Green onions, chopped (optional)
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they are roughly the same size for even cooking.
In a bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced ginger, and minced garlic. Stir well until the honey dissolves completely.
Heat a pan over medium heat and add the chicken pieces, cooking until they are golden brown on all sides.
Pour the teriyaki sauce mixture over the cooked chicken in the pan. Allow it to simmer until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the chicken beautifully.
Mix cornstarch with water and add to the pan, stirring well until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired. Serve hot with rice or your favorite side dish.
