Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup VH Teriyaki Sauce
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup green onions, sliced
Instructions
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the chicken, VH Teriyaki Sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
2. Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Set aside.
3. Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until cooked through and slightly browned.
4. Make the Glaze: Slowly whisk the cornstarch mixture into the skillet. Bring the sauce to a boil and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
5. Combine and Serve: Return the chicken to the skillet with the thickened sauce. Stir to coat the chicken evenly. Serve immediately over rice or noodles, garnished with green onions.
Tips for Success
- Choose the Right Chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are the most convenient option for this recipe. However, you can also use chicken thighs for a richer flavor.
- Marinate for Maximum Flavor: Marinating the chicken allows the flavors to penetrate deeply, resulting in a more flavorful dish.
- Use High-Quality VH Sauce: VH Teriyaki Sauce is a key ingredient that adds authentic Japanese flavor to the dish.
- Cook the Chicken Properly: Overcooking the chicken will make it tough. Cook it just until cooked through and slightly browned.
- Adjust the Sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet sauce, reduce the amount of honey.
Variations
- Spicy Teriyaki: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or chili powder to the marinade for a hint of heat.
- Pineapple Teriyaki: Add diced pineapple to the skillet along with the chicken for a tropical twist.
- Vegetable Teriyaki: Replace the chicken with your favorite vegetables, such as broccoli, carrots, or bell peppers.
Serving Suggestions
- Rice: Chicken teriyaki is traditionally served over rice. Jasmine rice or brown rice are both excellent choices.
- Noodles: Udon or soba noodles are also great accompaniments to chicken teriyaki.
- Vegetables: Serve chicken teriyaki with a side of steamed or sautéed vegetables, such as broccoli or carrots.
The Perfect Sauce: VH Teriyaki
