Instructions
To Make The 20-Minute Teriyaki Chicken:
- Season the chicken with a few generous pinches of salt and pepper. Set aside.
- In a large saute pan or wok, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and saute, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink on the inside.
- Meanwhile, as the chicken is cooking, prepare your teriyaki sauce.
- Once the chicken is ready to go, pour the teriyaki sauce over it, then toss to combine until the chicken is evenly coated. Continue cooking until the sauce reaches a simmer and thickens.
- Remove from heat, and serve immediately, garnished with optional toppings if desired.
To Make The Teriyaki Sauce:
