  • Total Time: 35
  • Yield: 4

Ingredients

✓ 2 chicken breasts – boneless and skinless
✓ 1 cup pineapple chunks – fresh or canned (drained)
✓ 3 tbsp vegetable oil
✓ 2 green onions – sliced
✓ 1/4 cup soy sauce
✓ 2 tbsp brown sugar
✓ 1 tbsp rice vinegar
✓ 1 tbsp honey
✓ 1 clove garlic – minced
✓ 1 tsp grated ginger
✓ 1 tbsp cornstarch
✓ Water – 2 tbsp

Instructions

✓ Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them until they are about 1/2 inch thick.

✓ In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, cornstarch, and water until well combined.

✓ Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.

✓ Add the chicken breasts to the pan and cook for 5 minutes or until edges begin to set. Flip them over and cook for another 5 minutes on the other side, until golden brown and fully cooked through.

✓ Lower the heat to medium-low and pour in the teriyaki sauce mixture, ensuring it covers the chicken evenly.

✓ Simmer for about 7-10 minutes while stirring occasionally, allowing the glaze to reduce by half and thicken. The glaze should coat the chicken nicely.

✓ Remove from heat, slice the chicken breasts into thin strips, and serve hot with extra green onions on top for garnish. Optionally, sprinkle sesame seeds for added texture.

Notes

Ensure the chicken is pounded evenly before cooking; this helps in achieving a more tender result. Keep an eye on the heat levels during cooking to prevent the glaze from burning. Adjust the cornstarch amount according to your preference for thicker or thinner glaze.
