Make The Teriyaki Sauce
Here’s what you do: First make up the teriyaki sauce (don’t worry-it’s EASY). The ingredients are cooked until it becomes a thick and amazing sauce.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet until it is hot, but not smoking. Cook the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the hot oil until they are golden brown. Once the bottom side is golden brown, gently turn them over and continue cooking other side, until the chicken is fully cooked through.
Place the browned chicken breasts into an oven-proof baking dish. Pour the thickened teriyaki sauce on top and around the chicken breasts, to fully coat them.
Bake The Teriyaki Chicken
Once they are covered in that yummy teriyaki sauce, the chicken breasts are baked for 15-20 minutes. See how it gets the name teriyaki chicken? Chicken and teriyaki sauce… easy peasy!
To Serve Teriyaki Chicken
Once the teriyaki chicken is fully baked, remove the pan from the oven. Transfer the chicken breasts from the pan onto a cutting board. Slice each chicken breast into thin strips.
Serve the teriyaki chicken slices on top of a bed of rice. Drizzle the chicken with additional sauce, and garnish it with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. That’s it! See how EASY it is to make delicious teriyaki chicken? Well, just wait until you TASTE it, because it’s absolutely delicious!
