Ingredients

• 2 pieces chicken breasts
• 0.25 cups soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water, cold
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
• 2 stalks green onions, sliced

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips, about 1 inch wide. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, grated ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to create the teriyaki sauce.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water until fully dissolved to create a slurry. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips in batches, cooking for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove the chicken strips from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, pour in the prepared teriyaki sauce. Bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

Step 6

Stir in the cornstarch slurry, whisking constantly as the sauce thickens. This should take about 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

Return the cooked chicken strips to the skillet and toss them in the sauce until fully coated and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions over the top as a garnish.

Step 9

Serve immediately with steamed rice, noodles, or vegetables on the side.
