As I was looking up recipes for teriyaki chicken, I found that teriyaki sauce is basically soy sauce plus sugar! Who knew?? This recipe is quick, easy, and perfect for that night that you don't want to cook! Just steam up some broccoli to have on the side and you may even get a balanced meal!
To make this teriyaki chicken, you will need:
- 1 lb CHICKEN, cubed
- 1 cup CHICKEN BROTH
- 1/2 cup TERIYAKI or SOY SAUCE
- 1/3 cup BROWN SUGAR
- 3 cloves of GARLIC, minced
- 1 Tbs CORN STARCH
- SALT
- PEPPER
Whisk together the chicken broth, teriyaki (or soy) sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and corn starch in a small bowl.
Cook the cubed chicken in a skillet. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Pour the sauce over the chicken in the skillet. The sauce should start to thicken as it heats up. If the sauce does not thicken enough, whisk a second tablespoon of cornstarch with a tablespoon of cool water and then add it to the sauce.
Once the chicken is cooked and the sauce has thickened it is ready to eat! Serve over rice and enjoy!
I topped mine with some sesame seeds, but that isn't typical for teriyaki chicken.
