Ingredients

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup honey or brown sugar
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Your choice of rice for serving
Steamed vegetables (broccoli, carrots, or snow peas) for serving

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey (or brown sugar), rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the teriyaki sauce.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the chicken, cooking until browned on both sides, approximately 5-7 minutes per side.
Once the chicken is cooked through, pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken in the skillet. Let it simmer for about 5-10 minutes, turning the chicken occasionally to ensure it’s well coated with the sauce and allowing it to thicken.
Remove from heat and slice the chicken into strips. Serve over cooked rice and top with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
Add a side of steamed vegetables for a complete and colorful meal.
