Teriyaki chicken is probably my families favorite dish. No matter how many times I make it they polish off the dinner every single night.
they also are sticklers for my Honey Lemon Chinese Chicken!!!
With a simple marinade to tenderize the chicken and a sauce made with ingredients you have in your pantry(if you cook anything asian!), its just such a staple!
Teriyaki chicken sauce
The flavoring in this dish comes from a quick, homemade teriyaki sauce on a base of soy sauce, sugar, and garlic. We use freshly grated ginger for an extra kick and sesame oil for depth of flavor.
what you’ll need:
- brown sugar
- soy sauce
- fresh ginger and garlic
- rice vinegar
- sesame seeds
- sesame oil
simply whisk the sauce and add it to your stir fried chicken, then cook until you see little caramelized bits- those are the coveted pieces!
Teriyaki Chicken in the Crockpot
this is a fabulous recipe to try in your slow cooker! Great if you want to prepare dinner in advance and set it to go while you run errands. Pour sauce over chicken in your crockpot, seit it and forget it. Finish off the dinner by pushing the chicken to one side and adding the broccoli to cook for just a short while.
