Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breasts
- 0.25 cups soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water, cold
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
Instructions
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips, about 1 inch wide. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, grated ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to create the teriyaki sauce.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water until fully dissolved to create a slurry. Set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips in batches, cooking for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove the chicken strips from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, pour in the prepared teriyaki sauce. Bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Stir in the cornstarch slurry, whisking constantly as the sauce thickens. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
Return the cooked chicken strips to the skillet and toss them in the sauce until fully coated and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions over the top as a garnish.
Serve immediately with steamed rice, noodles, or vegetables on the side.
