Teriyaki Chicken Meal Prep Recipe
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1.3 pounds (600 grams) skinless boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons mirin
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic (2 cloves garlic)
- 1 green onion stem, sliced to garnish
- 4 cups broccoli florets, lightly steamed
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch (or corn flour) mixed with 2 teaspoons water
Instructions
- Heat cooking oil in a large pan over medium heat. Stir fry chicken until lightly browned and crisp.
- In a small jug or bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sugar, sake, mirin, and sesame oil. Set aside.
- Add the garlic to the center of the pan and sauté until lightly fragrant (about 30 seconds). Pour in the sauce and allow it to cook, while stirring, until the sauce thickens into a beautiful shiny glaze (about 2-3 minutes).
- If the sauce needs thickening, whisk in the cornstarch/water mixture and continue stirring until syrupy.
- Add in the steamed broccoli. Garnish with green onion slices and serve over steamed rice.
