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.

  1. This dish was absolutely delicious and easy to make. I did not have corn starch or flour so I used instant mash substitute. I also did not have ground ginger or apple cider vinegar so I just left it out. My sauce ended up being a tiny bit thick but so good.

    • You can substitute the cornstarch with flour. You will need 3 tablespoons of flour for every tablespoon of cornstarch. You will also need to heat it in it’s own sauce pan and cook it for a bit to get rid of the flour taste.

  3. Super yummy flavor and easy peasy! I used a bag of stir fry veggies since I didn’t have broccoli. The only change I would make is triple the sauce if you like extra sauce to top the rice. . I doubled it and it’s its still not enough. But will absolutely make this again.

  5. 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

  6. 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?

  10. 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.

  11. 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!

  12. 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!

  13. 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.

  15. 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?

  18. 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!
