This Easy Teriyaki Chicken Recipe has become one of my go-to dinners. It’s so simple and incredibly delicious. Serve with broccoli, white rice and of course, egg rolls.
In a non-stick skillet over medium high heat, add oil and chicken thighs that you have cut into bite sized pieces and tossed lightly with cornstarch.
Cook until the edges are golden.
Whisk together the ingredients for the sauce and add to the pan.
Bring the sauce to a boil and continue to cook until the sauce reduces and thickens. This is a personal preference, but I like it really thick.
The glaze should adhere nicely to the chicken and I’ve adjusted the sauce so you’ll have some left over for serving.
Serve with steamed broccoli, egg rolls (recipe coming soon) and a sprinkling of white sesame seeds and green onions, if desired.
I served mine over white rice which is traditional for this dish. Using chicken thighs makes for a really tender bite!
