How to Make Honey Teriyaki Chicken

To make this healthy honey teriyaki chicken recipe, simply:

2. Stir-fry your chicken: Next, slice some boneless skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and stir-fry them with a bit of garlic and ginger in a wok or frying pan.
3. Coat the chicken with sauce: Once the chicken is cooked, pour in the teriyaki sauce. Continue cooking until the sauce has reached a boil and has thickened to a consistency of a syrup.
4. Garnish and serve: Top with green onions and sesame seeds if desired and serve with steamed rice and/or veggies.

Where to Get the Best Organic Chicken

I highly recommend purchasing and consuming free-range, organic chicken if you can. This is due to the fact that organic and naturally-raised meat is way more healthy, humane and better-tasting than conventional meat. And for the highest-quality organic chicken and other meats, I highly recommend using Butcher Box.

If you would like to learn more about Butcher Box, I have written an in-depth Review of Butcher Box on the blog. However, if you would rather use another delivery service, check out this post: The Top Healthy and Organic Meat Delivery Companies. In that article, I discuss other sources for organic meat delivery online that might suit you better.
