Easy Teriyaki Chicken Chunks Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb chicken thighs or chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Teriyaki Sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons vinegar apple cider or rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger powder optional
Optional serving ideas
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- 1/2 green onion minced
- steamed rice
- broccoli
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, garlic, vinegar and cornstarch and optional ginger powder.
- Add oil to a large skillet on medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add cubed chicken.
- Fry 2-3 minutes per side until nicely browned. If not browning, increase heat and continue for another minute.
- Add sauce mixture to chicken and stir continuously until it thickens to coat the chicken.
- Remove from heat. Serve in bowls with rice and vegetable, and garnish with optional sesame seeds and green onion. Enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure to cut your chicken into small 1-inch / 2 cm cubes to allow for quicker cooking and easy browning. Start with medium heat to sauté your chicken, making sure not to overcrowd your pan. You may need to do it in two batches if your pan is not big enough.
- Add sauce immediately as soon as your chicken turns brown. Avoid over-cooking your chicken. Turn the heat up after you add in the sauce so that it thickens fast.
