This Teriyaki Chicken recipe features tender, juicy chicken breasts simmered in a sweet and savory homemade teriyaki sauce. It’s quick, flavorful, and perfect for a weeknight dinner served over rice or with steamed veggies.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon cold water
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine soy sauce, 1/4 cup water, sesame oil, brown sugar, honey, garlic, and ground ginger. Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture starts to simmer.
  2. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and 1 tablespoon cold water until dissolved. Add this mixture to the saucepan and stir until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5–6 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
  4. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken and let it simmer for a few minutes to soak up the flavors.
  5. Serve hot over rice or with your favorite side dishes.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken thighs for chicken breasts if preferred.
  • Add steamed vegetables like broccoli or snap peas for a complete meal.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
