Easy Chicken Teriyaki
Description
Easy Chicken Teriyaki uses thin strips of boneless, skinless chicken thighs cooked in a skillet. The chicken is first seared on one side, then flipped and cooked with a mixture of soy sauce and brown sugar. As the chicken cooks, the sauce reduces and thickens, creating a glossy coating that clings to the meat. The sweet and salty balance comes from the brown sugar and soy sauce, while the green onions add mild sharpness as a finishing touch.
The recipe calls for cooking the chicken until it's fully cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F, ensuring juicy and tender meat. Removing the chicken before thickening the sauce prevents overcooking. The thickened sauce is then returned to the chicken for a well-coated finish.
The dish is served over long-grain white rice with green onion garnish, making it a complete and comforting meal. Its straightforward preparation and tender chicken strips make it approachable for home cooks.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken thigh cut into thin strips, boneless, skinless
- 1 ½ cups soy sauce
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons green onion diced
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add chicken. Cook on one side for about 5 minutes.
- Flip the chicken and add soy sauce and brown sugar. Mix and cook for about 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the internal temperature of the chicken is 165°F.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove the cooked chicken from the skillet. Place the chicken on a plate or in a bowl, tenting to keep warm.
- Continue cooking the sauce for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until thickened.
- Remove from the heat and add the chicken back into the pan. Toss to coat.
- Serve with long-grain white rice, topped with green onions for garnish.
