Teriyaki Chicken Ingredients
- Chicken Breasts: I like to use boneless skinless chicken breasts, but you can substitute chicken thighs. You will need to add a few extra minutes to the cooking time for chicken thighs.
- Bell Pepper: I used a red bell bell pepper, but orange or yellow also taste great.
- Peas: Sugar snap peas are so tasty in this recipe.
- Broccoli: This teriyaki chicken calls for a head of broccoli florets.
- Carrots: You can use whole carrots and cut them into small slices, or use 1 1/2 cups of pre shredded carrots that you can find in the produce section of the grocery store.
- TERIYAKI SAUCE
- Soy Sauce: Use low sodium soy sauce to cut down on the salt content.
- Water: Water is used in the homemade teriyaki sauce.
- Brown Sugar: Brown sugar adds the perfect amount of sweet flavor to the sauce.
- Rice Vinegar: Rice vinegar is commonly used in Asian inspired dishes, and can be found down the Asian isle of you local grocery store.
- Sesame Oil: Sesame oil is also commonly used in Asian recipes, but this is optional. I love the flavor, but it is not necessary.
- Ginger: I like to use ground ginger for the convenience, but fresh ginger may also be used.
- Garlic: Minced garlic in a jar, or fresh minced garlic both work well.
- Honey: Honey adds a touch of sweetness, and helps thicken the sauce.
- Cornstarch: Cornstarch is added to thicken sauces. Bring teriyaki sauce to a boil, and allow it to cool while it thickens.
