Teriyaki Chicken

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, 1/4 cup water, brown sugar, honey, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil.
2. Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
4. Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the chicken in the skillet and bring to a gentle simmer.
5. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry. Stir this into the skillet.
