Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- ½ cup teriyaki sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Start by trimming any excess fat from the chicken breasts and then slice them into thinner pieces for faster cooking.
- Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the teriyaki sauce, honey, and soy sauce until well combined. This will be your glaze.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and golden brown.
- Glaze the Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, reduce the heat to low and pour the teriyaki glaze over the chicken. Use a spoon or basting brush to coat the chicken evenly. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes until the glaze thickens and the chicken is well-coated.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once the chicken is glazed and perfectly caramelized, remove it from the skillet and serve with your favorite side dishes like steamed rice, vegetables, or a salad.
Notes
- Use Skinless Chicken Breasts – This recipe works best with boneless, skinless chicken breasts to ensure the glaze sticks and the cooking time is reduced.
- Adjust the Glaze to Taste – If you like a sweeter glaze, add a little more honey; for a saltier flavor, increase the soy sauce.
- Don’t Overcook the Chicken – Be sure to check the chicken with a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for the best texture.
- Add Some Heat – For those who like a bit of spice, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of chili sauce to the glaze.
