Ingredients

Teriyaki Sauce

1/3 cup light brown sugar
1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons water
2 garlic cloves
½ teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Chicken

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1" chunks)
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon pepper

For Serving

cooked white rice
sliced green onions
sesame seeds

Instructions

Combine all the teriyaki sauce ingredients into a bowl and whisk until combined. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a skillet pan over medium-high heat. Add the chunked chicken, salt, and pepper. Let cook, while stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through (165° F).
When chicken is cooked through and most the liquid/oil is absorbed, pour the prepared teriyaki sauce into the pan and let simmer for 4-5 minutes. Stir everything together.
* It thickens up rather quickly so watch it carefully.
* I like to drain any excess oil/liquid out of the pan once the chicken is done cooking, and before I add the teriyaki sauce. This is completely optional.
Serve over white rice and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

Serving Size & Nutrition Information : This recipe makes enough for 6 adult-sized servings. If you are serving kids then you can easily get 8 servings out of it. The nutrition information listed is for one serving of the chicken teriyaki + 1/2 cup cooked white rice.

Chicken : I use 4 smaller sized chicken breasts that you can get from the grocery store. If you are using the really large chicken breast, then maybe only use 2-3 of them depending on how big they are.
