Quick and delicious. So much better for you than bottled teriyaki sauce. This recipe can easily be doubled, or just the sauce can be doubled if you'd like extra. There are tons of recipes out there for teriyaki chicken, but this one is the best I've tried so far. Recipe adapted from Gimmesomeoven.com

Steps

1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the teriyaki ingredients until all are blended well. Set aside.
2

Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add the chicken to the skillet and season with the salt and pepper. This is also a good time to start whatever side items you'd like to serve with this dish (rice, steamed veggies, etc....)
3

Cook the chicken, stirring around often, until chicken is cooked all the way through. Cook time varies depending on how big your pieces of chicken are, but it should cook relatively quickly.
4

Once chicken is cooked through, pour the teriyaki sauce into the skillet and stir to cover all the chicken with the sauce.
5

Bring sauce to a simmer for just a minute or two (it will thicken quickly). Once it reaches a thick, syrup-like consistency, remove skillet from heat.
6

Serve garnished with sesame seeds and scallions if you'd like. I usually make jasmine rice and steamed broccoli to go with it, but serve with whatever sounds good to you!

I love to bake and to try out new recipes! I'm always on the lookout for simple dinners for busy weeknights. A lot of the recipes I post on here are ones I've found on Pinterest or from different bloggers, and that I've tried and really enjoyed, but I always reference to where I got the recipe from in the recipe description and the pictures are my own. If there's no source listed, then it's a rare recipe that I came up with. I have two wonderful kids and I hope to pass on my love of cooking and baking to them.
