Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breasts
- 0.25 cups soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water, cold
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
Directions
Step 1
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips, about 1 inch wide. Set aside.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, grated ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to create the teriyaki sauce.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water until fully dissolved to create a slurry. Set aside.
Step 4
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips in batches, cooking for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove the chicken strips from the skillet and set aside.
Step 5
In the same skillet, pour in the prepared teriyaki sauce. Bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Step 6
Stir in the cornstarch slurry, whisking constantly as the sauce thickens. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
Step 7
Return the cooked chicken strips to the skillet and toss them in the sauce until fully coated and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 8
Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions over the top as a garnish.
Step 9
Serve immediately with steamed rice, noodles, or vegetables on the side.
