Teriyaki Chicken
Teriyaki Chicken features bite-sized pieces of chicken breast coated lightly with flour and pan-fried until golden and crispy, then simmered in a mixture of teriyaki sauce and orange juice. The cooking technique ensures a contrast between a crispy exterior and tender interior, while the sweet-savory sauce adds a bright glaze. Garnishes like green onion and sesame seeds add freshness and texture.
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup teriyaki sauce divided
- 3 chicken breast cut into bite sized pieces, boneless, skinless
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ¼ cup orange juice
- green onion and sesame seeds, optional garnish, sliced
Instructions
- Add ¼ cup teriyaki sauce and the chicken to a bowl. Toss to coat.
- Whisk together the flour, salt and pepper. Sprinkle the chicken with the flour mixture and toss to coat.
- Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat.
- Add the chicken to the pan in batches being sure not to crowd the pan. Cook the chicken until golden brown and crispy on all sides, approximately 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a platter and repeat with remaining chicken.
- Once all the chicken is cooked, add the orange juice to the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to release the brown bits.
- Return the chicken to the pan and add the remaining teriyaki sauce. Bring the sauce to a boil and then remove from the heat.
- Top the chicken with the green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately.
