Description

Delicious grilled teriyaki chicken breasts marinated in a flavorful sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup sweet chili sauce
  • ¼ cup toasted sesame oil
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ cup water
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag, or container.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, sweet chili sauce, toasted sesame oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, garlic powder, and ground ginger to create the marinade.
  3. Reserve ½ cup of the marinade mixture and set aside.
  4. Pour the remaining marinade over the prepared chicken breasts. Seal the bag or cover the container, and refrigerate for 1 hour to marinate.
  5. Preheat the grill to 375℉, then brush the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking.
  6. Grill marinated chicken breasts 6-7 minutes on one side.
  7. Flip and continue grilling another 7 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165℉.
  8. While the chicken is grilling, combine the water and cornstarch in a saucepan set over medium-low heat.
  9. Add the reserved marinade and simmer until it begins to thicken.
  10. Brush the thickened teriyaki sauce over the chicken as it finishes grilling, and/or before serving.

Notes

  • Serve with steamed rice and vegetables for a complete meal.
  • Marinating the chicken for longer enhances the flavor.
