Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and cornstarch. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet or wok set over medium-high heat, heat the oil. When the oil is hot, add the chicken. Season the chicken liberally with salt and pepper.
  • Cook the chicken for 3-5 minutes or until it is just cooked through. Add the teriyaki sauce to the pan and stir to combine until the chicken is evenly coated.
  • Cook, while stirring, for about 3 minutes or until the sauce is bubbling and has thickened.
  • Top with green onions and sesame seeds if using. Serve warm with cooked rice, quinoa, noodles, and/or steamed vegetables.

Notes

  1. I recommend using organic chicken in this recipe, for maximum health benefits.
  2. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to five days or in the freezer for up to three months.
