PREPARATION FOR TERIYAKI CHICKEN

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk until well blended.
  1. Marinate the Chicken: Place the breast in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken and coat it thoroughly. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or 2 hours for deeper flavour.
  1. Preheat the Pan: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. If needed, add a small amount of olive oil to prevent sticking.
  1. Cook the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the chicken in the hot pan and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side until the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F). Ensure you cook the chicken correctly.
  1. Glaze the Chicken: Pour the remaining marinade into the pan during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Allow it to reduce and thicken, coating the chicken with a rich glaze.
  1. Rest and Serve: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. Serve hot, drizzled with the teriyaki glaze, alongside steamed rice and vegetables.

PREP TIME

10 minutes (plus 30 minutes to 2 hours of marinating time)

COOKING TIME

12-16 minutes

TIPS FOR TERIYAKI CHICKEN

  • Add a sprinkle of sesame seeds and chopped green onions as a garnish for extra flavour.
  • Ensure the pan is hot before adding the chicken to ensure a good sear.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix 1/2 tsp of cornstarch with water and add it to the marinade before glazing.

VARIATIONS

  • Add a splash of pineapple juice to the marinade for a fruity twist.
  • Substitute the chicken breast with boneless chicken thighs for a juicier result.
  • Incorporate a teaspoon of sesame oil into the marinade for a richer flavour.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Fridge: Store any leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to avoid drying out.
  • Freezer: Marinate the chicken, then freeze it raw in a sealed bag for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before cooking.
