Chicken Teriyaki

Savory, sweet, and utterly irresistible, this Chicken Teriyaki recipe is a staple of Japanese-inspired cuisine. Tender chicken, crunchy bell peppers, and snappy snow peas come together in a rich, sticky teriyaki sauce that will have you hooked from the very first bite.

Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup mixed bell peppers (such as green, red, and yellow)
• 1 cup snow peas, sliced
• 1/2 cup sliced green onions, for garnish
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.

Add the mixed bell peppers and snow peas to the skillet, and cook until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes.

Return the chicken to the skillet and pour in the teriyaki sauce.

Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2 minutes, until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is coated.

Season with salt and pepper to taste, then garnish with sliced green onions.

Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

Use fresh or frozen bell peppers and snow peas to make the dish more colorful and nutritious. Make sure to slice the bell peppers and snow peas into similar-sized pieces so they cook evenly.

If using frozen vegetables, thaw them first and pat dry with a paper towel before adding to the skillet.

For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the skillet with the garlic. You can also serve with steamed rice or noodles to soak up the savory teriyaki sauce.

If you prefer a thicker sauce, simmer it for a few extra minutes or add a little cornstarch to thicken.

To make ahead, prepare the chicken and vegetables separately, then reheat and combine with the teriyaki sauce just before serving.
