Guys… if you haven’t already noticed I love Asian food! While I was pregnant with my son my love for Asian food increased and I ate it literally ALL the time and I’m pretty sure my husband was over it haha. So, yall already know how excited I am to share this Easy Chicken Teriyaki recipe.

For starters this recipe is so easy to make, you pretty much just mix up the sauce ingredients, cook the chicken then add the sauce mixture and boom you’re done! I personally like to use chicken thighs in this recipe, for the extra juicy flavor. But, you can definitely use chicken breast if you’d like which is also just as delicious. 

Serve this Chicken Teriyaki with steamed rice and broccoli and you’ve got dinner ready in under an hour!

• Season the chicken thighs with garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Sear chicken on both sides for about 8-10 minutes on each side. 
• Add soy sauce mixture to the pan with the chicken and continue cooking on medium heat until the sauce begins to thicken. Once you’ve reached your desired consistency, garnish with chopped green onion and serve over rice. Enjoy!

Notes

If the sauce is too thin for whatever reason, you may create an additional cornstarch slurry with equal parts cold water and cornstarch and add to the sauce to thicken ta bit more. 

If the Sauce is too thick, add in a little chicken broth to thin it out some.
