Baked Chicken Teriyaki Recipe
Baked Chicken Teriyaki features large chicken breast pieces marinated in a blend of sugar, soy or teriyaki sauce, fresh or ground ginger, and garlic. After marinating for an hour, the chicken is baked until cooked through, developing a sweet and savory glaze. This preparation yields tender, flavorful chicken suitable for serving over rice.
Ingredients
- 3 chicken breast large
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup soy sauce or teriyaki sauce or a combination of both
- 2 tablespoons ginger or 3 teaspoons ground ginger, fresh grated
- 2 teaspoon garlic minced
Instructions
- Mix sugar through garlic in a large mixing bowl.
- Chop chicken into bite size chunks. (Note - Chopping raw chicken is icky. I know some of you are not bothered by raw meat, but most of you know that I am. It's just something I avoid if at all possible. When I do have to chop raw chicken, I prefer to do it if it is still semi-frozen. Yes, it is very cold to handle, but it is also a lot less icky.)
- Add chicken to the sugar soy sauce marinade in the large mixing bowl. Mix well.
- Pour chicken mixture into prepared pan. Cover the top of the chicken and let sit in refrigerator at least 1 hour.
- When you are ready to bake, take the dish out of the refrigerator. Preheat oven to 350 F (175 C). (Or 400 degrees but adjust cooking time) Bake for 30-40 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.
- Serve over rice. Yum!
Notes
- If the teriyaki sauce becomes too thick, thin it with a small amount of cold water to maintain the desired consistency.
