Ingredients

• 1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 0.25 cup Low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Honey
• 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tsp Ginger, freshly grated
• 1 tsp Cornstarch
• 2 tsp Water
• 1 spray Cooking spray
• 1 tsp Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 1 stalk Scallions, thinly sliced (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to make the teriyaki sauce.

Step 2

In a separate small dish, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Set both aside.

Step 3

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly coat with cooking spray.

Step 4

Add the chicken thighs to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium and pour the teriyaki sauce into the skillet. Bring to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce begins to thicken and becomes glossy.

Step 7

Return the chicken to the skillet, turning to coat each piece evenly with the sauce. Cover and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Step 9

If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds and scallions over the chicken for garnish.

Step 10

Serve warm with steamed vegetables or jasmine rice for a balanced meal.
