Ingredients
– 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 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
– 3 teaspoons cornstarch
– Sesame seeds for garnish
– Chopped green onions for garnish
– Rice for serving (white, brown, or quinoa)
– Steamed vegetables such as broccoli and carrots for serving
Instructions
1-Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat to get things started.
2-Add the cubed chicken and cook until browned and no longer pink, making sure to drain any excess liquid for a cleaner sauce later.
3-In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/2 cup water, 2 tablespoons honey, 3 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil (optional), 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 2 teaspoons minced garlic, and 3 teaspoons cornstarch to create the teriyaki sauce.
4-Once the chicken is fully cooked, pour the teriyaki sauce into the skillet and stir continuously until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken evenly.
5-Serve the chicken and sauce right away over cooked rice and steamed vegetables like broccoli and carrots for a nutritious finish.
6-Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions to add a nice crunch and visual appeal.
