Ingredients
Instructions
-
Begin by preparing the teriyaki sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the honey is fully dissolved.
-
In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the sauce while whisking constantly. Continue to cook the sauce for another 2-3 minutes until it thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
-
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
-
Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and have nice grill marks.
-
Once the chicken is cooked, brush a generous amount of the teriyaki sauce on each breast. Allow the sauce to caramelize slightly on the chicken, about 1-2 minutes per side.
-
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help lock in the juices and keep the chicken tender.
-
Slice the chicken breasts diagonally and arrange them on a platter. Drizzle any remaining teriyaki sauce over the top and sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for a pop of color and extra flavor.
-
Serve the Boneless Chicken Breast Teriyaki with steamed rice and your favorite vegetables for a complete meal that's sure to please.
