Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breast
- 200 grams linguine
- 100 ml soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 stalks green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguine according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips. Season with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Set the sauce aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and cook for 5–7 minutes, or until they are fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and the sauce mixture. Bring to a simmer.
Stir the cornstarch into the water to create a slurry, then slowly add this to the simmering sauce while stirring constantly. Cook for 1–2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, tossing to coat it in the teriyaki sauce.
Add the cooked linguine to the skillet and toss everything together, ensuring the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce.
Drizzle the sesame oil over the dish, then garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Easy Chicken Teriyaki with Linguine!
