Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic minced

Method
 

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and minced garlic to create the teriyaki marinade.
  3. Place the chicken breasts in a ziplock bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish and let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours for extra flavor).
  4. Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and place them on the preheated grill.
  5. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
  6. Let the grilled chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired.

Notes

For an extra kick, add a teaspoon of grated ginger to the marinade. This teriyaki chicken pairs wonderfully with steamed rice and a side of stir-fried veggies. Leftover chicken can be used in salads or as a filling for sandwiches and wraps.
