This Teriyaki Chicken is my skillet version of the Slow Cooker Teriyaki Chicken recipe I shared a few months ago. Sometimes I don’t want to or forget to set my slow cooker so the quick skillet option is great to have. This dish is as easy in prep as it’s slow cooker version and most likely you have all of the ingredients on hand.

All of our rice bowls recipes are perfect for meal prep. This is the container I use and recommend. You can also read my review on it, here.
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite size pieces
- salt and pepper
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 Tablespoons rice or apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
- rice
- steamed broccoli
- Cook rice according to instructions on packaging.
- Steam broccoli.
- Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper and place in large non stick skillet.
- Cook until done, stirring often.
- In a small bowl or a measuring cup, combine brown sugar, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, vinegar and cornstarch. Whisk together until there are no cornstarch lumps. Add sauce to chicken and cook stirring constantly, until it thickens into shiny glaze.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately with rice and steamed broccoli.
The calorie amount is for the chicken and sauce only. I use MyFitnessPal. Please, treat the calorie count as an estimate. Thank you!
You can make the sauce ahead of time, by using my recipe for the Homemade Teriyaki Sauce.

Good morning Anna!!
Can this dish be frozen and used in a meal prep plan?
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Hi Juanita! YES! It’s great for freezing and a lot of our readers use it as a part of their meal prep. I hope this helps!
Louay says
I just discovered that I am out of ready-made Teriyaki sauce.
So i tried this recipe. I am surprised how great it is……. I am sure I will never again use ready-made sauce anymore.
My only question: How to make it little more glazey? If we add more sugar, there is a risk of getting too sweet. What other option for this?
Thank You
Crystal says
Great recipe! I accidentally used dark brown sugar, but it still tasted delish!! I think I am going to switch it up and use green beans or snap peas next time 🙂
Do you have an instagram?
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Hi Crystal! Thank you so much for giving this recipe a try. I am so glad you enjoyed it! Love the idea of using green beans and snap peas. Delicious! You can follow me at @crunchycreamysweet on Instagram. 😀

Jules says
My kid loved this!
Tami M. says
This was amazing and I will be making it again and again. Instead of having broccoli with it, I steamed sugar snap peas and added them to the chicken. So good. I used regular vinegar, cause it’s what I had on hand.
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Hi Tami! I am so happy to know you enjoyed this dish! Thank you for trying it and for letting me know. Have a beautiful week! -Anna
Kim says
Hi Anna,
I’ve tried several recipes for Asian dishes on Pinterest, etc. and this is the FIRST one that my husband has liked! I left out the ginger (I’ve learned from the other recipes that he doesn’t like it) and increased the ingredients for the sauce. With the broccoli and rice we had enough for leftovers and he said it tasted even better the 2nd night! 🙂
Thought you would like to know! Thanks for the recipe…easy and tasty!

Hi there! I wanted to just give you a heads up that the calorie count on this is way off, and could be misleading and might scare off some readers! A teaspoon on brown sugar is 15 calories. There are 12 teaspoons in a 1/4 cup so there are only 180 calories from the brown sugar, not 1520 like myfitnesspal says by default. But that’s great news! It means that it’s relatively low in calories, at about 200 calories instead for the meat and sauce! I will definitely be trying this recipe now that I know that!
Terry Vojtecky says
EASY PEASY and OMG…SOOOOO DELICIOUS.
I used honey instead of sugar.
Tossed the broccoli in the sauce and served it over pineapple rice.
LOVED IT.
Thanks for sharing this genius recipe.
BIG HUG.
Natalie says
Love, love, love this recipe! So did my very picky eaters. Thanks for sharing.
Tiffany says
I dont have any ginger. Will this matter?also…how would i make enough for 6 people. Would i just double the entire recipe to be safe?
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Hi Tiffany! Feel free to skip the ginger. The dish will still be delicious! As far as doubling, you should be good to go. Let me know if you make it and how you like it! Have a beautiful weekend! -Anna
Sally says
Hi Anna,
Do you have any recipes for shrimp?
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Hi Sally! I do not have any on my blog but I think shrimp would work great in this recipe. Let me know if you try it! Have a beautiful week! -Anna
Jessica says
Can I use honey instead of sugar?
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Hi Jessica! Yes! It will be amazing with honey too! Have a beautiful week! -Anna
Sarah says
The calories mentioned – are those per serving of chicken, the whole chicken dish or for the chicken/rice/broccoli per serving? Thanks! My family loves this recipe!
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Hi Sarah! The calorie count is for the chicken and sauce. Thank you for trying this recipe! I am so happy to know you and your family love it! 😀 Have a beautiful weekend! -Anna
Niki says
Could I use flour if I don’t have Corn starch? Or will the flour taste be too strong for this dish?
Mandy says
For the ingredients it says 2tbsp rice or apple cider vinegar, so I can use 2tbsp of uncooked rice?
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Hi Mandy! No, no. It means you can use either rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar. Serve the finished dish with cooked rice. Hope this helps. -Anna
Hannah says
