Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce (low sodium)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, freshly grated
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Scallions, sliced (optional, for garnish)
- as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Prepare the chicken by trimming any excess fat and cutting it into bite-sized cubes. Set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to make the teriyaki sauce.
In a separate small bowl, mix cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Set aside for later.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and spray it lightly with cooking spray.
Add the chicken to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the teriyaki sauce over the cooked chicken. Stir to coat the chicken evenly in the sauce.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet and gently stir. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced scallions over the chicken as a garnish.
Serve the WW Teriyaki Chicken warm over steamed rice or alongside your favorite vegetables for a complete meal.
