The Secrets to Perfect Teriyaki Chicken

Achieving juicy, flavorful chicken starts with evenly sized pieces and a hot pan. Dice your chicken breast or thighs and marinate briefly in a simple soy sauce and ginger mixture.

Using a high-quality nonstick skillet like the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch ensures an even sear and helps prevent sticking while you caramelize the chicken in batches.

Once browned, add your homemade teriyaki sauce, letting it bubble and thicken to glaze every bite perfectly.

Crunchy, Colorful Veggie Additions

For a truly satisfying bowl, load up with crisp vegetables: think carrots, bell peppers, edamame, and broccoli. To keep prep speedy, utilize the Mueller Pro-Series Vegetable Chopper and cut your prep time in half.
