Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
- 0.5 cup Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Mirin
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine the tamari, brown sugar, mirin, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of water until smooth. Slowly add this mixture to the simmering sauce, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 3
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces.
Step 4
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Add the chicken pieces to the pan and cook for about 7-10 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and browned on all sides.
Step 6
Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce over the chicken in the pan. Stir to coat the chicken evenly, and let the sauce simmer with the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes to develop flavor.
Step 7
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
Step 8
Serve the gluten-free teriyaki chicken hot over steamed rice or with vegetables of your choice.
