something new for a dinner with fam! try this

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger (or 1 teaspoon ground ginger)
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• Optional garnish: sesame seeds, sliced green onions

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, water, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to make the teriyaki sauce.
2. Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips or bite-sized pieces.
3. In a large skillet or wok, heat some oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until they are browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Once the chicken is cooked, pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken in the skillet.
5. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Add this slurry to the skillet with the chicken and sauce. Stir well to combine.
6. Continue cooking the chicken and sauce mixture, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken, about 2-3 minutes.
7. Once the sauce has thickened and the chicken is well-coated, remove the skillet from heat.
8. Serve the Chicken Teriyaki over cooked rice or noodles, and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired.
9. Enjoy your homemade Chicken Teriyaki!

Feel free to adjust the sweetness or saltiness of the sauce according to your taste preferences by adding more or less sugar or soy sauce. Enjoy your meal!

I like the addition of garlic and ginger for that extra depth of flavor. Though, if you're in a pinch, you can use ground ginger instead of fresh—it works just as well.
