Teriyaki-Style Salted Chicken Breast (Yakitori-Inspired)
Enjoy the taste of yakitori at home without skewers—just use a skillet! Prepping the chicken breast with a salted marinade makes it incredibly tender.
Recipe background:
I usually make this with chicken thighs, but I wondered if I could get chicken breast just as tender by using a salted marinade. It worked great!

Heat a skillet and add vegetable oil. Lightly coat the chicken pieces with potato starch, add them to the skillet, and place the green onion pieces beside them. Cover and cook.

When the chicken starts to change color, flip both the chicken and green onion. Cover again and cook a little longer.
