Description

Easy Chicken Teriyaki is a flavorful dish made with tender chicken breast cooked in a savory-sweet sauce of soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger, thickened to a glossy finish and often served with rice and vegetables for a satisfying meal.

Instructions

Mix the teriyaki sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Begin with the cornflour and gradually add the soy sauce, whisking so there are no lumps. Add the rest of the sauce ingredients.

Heat the oil in a frying pan until very hot.

Add the chicken and cook for about 10-15 minutes until the chicken is almost cooked through.

Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 3 or 4 more minutes until softened.

Add the teriyaki sauce ingredients and cook for about 5 minutes until everything is well coated and thickened.

While the chicken is cooking, I cook some rice in the bottom of a steamer pan and then add some green vegetables to the steamer part on top for the last 5 minutes. (You can mix the cooked broccoli into the sauce and chicken just before serving if you’d like it coated in sauce.)
