Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 5 tbsp teriyaki sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame seed oil
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp minced ginger
  • 1 tbsp dark brown sugar
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp complete seasoning
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Step 1: Prepare the Teriyaki Sauce Mixture

In a bowl, combine 5 tablespoons of teriyaki sauce and 1 teaspoon of sesame seed oil.

Add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic and 1 tablespoon of minced ginger to the bowl.

Stir the mixture well to ensure all the ingredients are well combined.

Step 2: Season the Chicken

Cut 2 chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes.

Drizzle some olive oil over the chicken pieces to help the seasoning stick.

Season the chicken with paprika, ground black pepper, onion powder, and complete seasoning.

Mix the chicken pieces to make sure they are evenly coated with the seasonings.

Step 3: Cook the Chicken

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle some olive oil in it.

Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned chicken to the skillet.

Cook the chicken for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the pieces.

After 10 to 12 minutes, check to ensure the chicken is cooked through.

Step 4: Add the Teriyaki Sauce

Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce mixture over the cooked chicken in the skillet.

Reduce the heat to low and let the chicken simmer in the sauce for 2 to 3 minutes.

This will allow the chicken to absorb the flavors of the sauce.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Serve the teriyaki chicken over a bed of white rice.

Optionally, add some vegetables for extra flavor.

Enjoy your delicious homemade teriyaki chicken!
