Who knew that it is so easy to make your own Teriyaki sauce?! This stuff is delicious. You'll be amazed at how quick and easy it is.
Tastes so great and
only 5 ingredients
1 cup soy
sauce
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
3 cloves
garlic
1 teaspoon
ground ginger
2 pounds
boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Combine soy
sauce, sugar, water, garlic, and ginger in a saucepan and bring to a boil on
medium-high heat.**
Boil for 1
minute. Remove 1/2 cup of sauce and
reserve for later.
Tenderize
the chicken with a meat mallet. (I just put the chicken in a zipper bag and pound it with my rolling pin until it's an even thickness.) Combine
the sauce and chicken in a zip top bag or airtight container.
Let chicken marinate in the refrigerator for
at least 15 minutes up to overnight.
(The longer you let it marinate the more flavorful it will be.)
Remove from the bag and arrange the
chicken breasts and marinade in a 9 X 13 inch pan. Cover with foil. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. (Or you can grill the chicken on medium-high
heat until cooked through.) You can cook
it in a slow cooker by placing the chicken and marinade in a slow cooker and
cook on low heat for 8 hours.
This is beef in the crockpot, not chicken.
It will have lots more Teriyaki flavor.
Serve with
white or brown rice and reserved marinade.
**For Hawaiian
Chicken that’s a bit spicier add the following to the marinade before boiling (I usually add the spices below):
1 teaspoon
black pepper
1/2 teaspoon
oregano
1 teaspoon
crushed red pepper flakes, less for Teriyaki that's less spicy
1 teaspoon
paprika
1 teaspoon
cayenne pepper, less for Teriyaki that's less spicy
This sauce also works great with beef.
Teriyaki Sauce will keep in your refrigerator for up to two weeks in a sealed container.
If you want a thicker sauce boil for 2 to 5 minutes.
