Why You'll Love This Recipe
Quick and easy dinners are my favorite to share with you, especially if they taste like restaurant dinners we all love but we made them in our own kitchen with minimal prep and cook time.
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 its slow cooker version and most likely you have all of the ingredients on hand. This recipe is perfect for meal prep as it stays well, refrigerated for up to 4 days.
Ingredients:
- chicken: skinless boneless breasts or thighs;
- brown sugar: to sweeten the sauce, you can use honey instead;
- soy sauce: the base of the teriyaki sauce; I highly recommend using the low-sodium sauce;
- vinegar: I used apple cider vinegar but rice vinegar works great too;
- ginger: fresh or ground;
- garlic: fresh or ground, fresh gives stronger flavor;
- cornstarch: necessary to thicken the sauce.
- rice: classic side to any Asian dish;
- broccoli: steamed or stir-fried.
How to make teriyaki chicken?
- Cut the chicken breast into bite size pieces, seasoned it with salt and pepper and cooked in a pan until no longer pink.
- In a measuring glass cup or small mixing bowl, whisk the sauce ingredients. Added to the chicken in a pan. It will cook and thicken quickly coating the chicken pieces with a sweet, shiny glaze that is out of this world delicious!
- Serve with rice and steamed broccoli.
How to make teriyaki sauce?
The sauce is made with brown sugar, soy sauce (I always use the low-sodium option), fresh minced garlic, ground ginger, rice or apple cider vinegar and cornstarch that helps it thicken. That's it! Asian flavors on point! You can make it ahead of time and store in the fridge until you are ready to use it. See my recipe for Homemade Teriyaki Sauce.
What to serve with teriyaki chicken?
I kept the dish simple and steamed broccoli and cooked rice. You can follow my recipe for cooking rice on the stovetop or use the Instant Por rice recipe. You can turn this dish into a stir fry by cooking veggies (peppers, onion, garlic, mushrooms, carrot sticks, etc.) in the pan first, then followed by chicken.
Recipe FAQs:
Yes, this dish reheats well the next day. You can also cook the chicken and make the sauce in a separate saucepan. Combine all in a pan to reheat just before serving. This dish is also great for meal prep. Cook, divide into containers and refrigerate for p to 4 days.
Absolutely! Use skinless boneless thighs and cut them into bite-size pieces. They will have more flavor than chicken breast since they have dark meat.
To prevent the sauce from being too salty (regular soy sauce is very salty) use half of the sauce in the recipe and replace the other half with water.

Kathleen says
Super easy and delicious! Definitely a do-over for my family!
Holly K says
I doubled the sauce and used those small jars of ginger and garlic in the condiment aisle and added 1 tbsp of the garlic and 3/4 tbsp of ginger. For the 3 eldest, I missed all theirs together in a bowl and for the little, I kept it separated out, so n a small plate. I got 10 stars across the board from everyone. That RARELY happens here. I loved this too. I’m bummed I didn’t double everything. Super quick meal, everyone raved. I don’t mind doing dishes now. Lol! Excellent recipe, 10 stars! Thank you so so much for this!!!
Cindy says
Your recipe is a family favorite! My husband and I eat it as is. I substitute out the soy sauce and chicken with tamari and fried tofu and my vegan, non-gf son gobbles up the meal, too! Thank you!!!
Anna says
Thank you so much, Cindy! I'm so glad you and your family are enjoying the dish!
JoAnn says
GOODNESS!!! I made this tonight exactly as written and my family loved it, including my 13 month old grandson. It was delish! my husband and son are asking that I make this on a regular basis. Thank you sooooo much for sharing this yummy chicken recipe!
Anna says
Hi JoAnn! Thank you so so much for making my recipe and for such a lovely review! I am so happy to know that the dish was a hit!
Peggy McG says
Planning on making this recipe this weekend. About what size pieces would you suggest cutting the 1 lb chicken breast into?
Thanks so much!
Anna says
Hi Peggy! I cut the chicken into bite-size pieces, about 1" chunks. Hope this helps!
Mary Beth Gibson says
I like the flexibility of this dish - parts that can be made a day ahead - and that it can be put together in such as short time. Great time-saver for the harried mom or dad! I also love the flavors of ginger and soy sauce. Thanks for sharing!
Deborah Saaranen says
Delicious! I subbed swerve brown sugar for the regular as I'm cutting down on sugar. Very delicious!
Anna says
Thank you, Deborah! I am so glad the dish was a success!
Stephanie says
This recipe is so fast, easy, and delicious!! My son helped me cook it and the whole family gave it a 10! Thank you for this keeper!
Melissa says
I make this a lot! The only change I make is I use fresh ginger which has a much fuller flavor than ground ginger. I use about a Tablespoon of fresh ginger--I just use a small cheese grater to grate it. It is delicious, quick, and easy on a weeknight!
Kerri says
Love how quick and easy this delicious dish comes together! Definitely a new family favorite!
Lou says
Made this sauce ahead of recipe... did not care for it; wanted more of the teriyaki flavour ... so i tried your teriyaki sauce with this recipe. Much better! I added some garlic powder and cornstarch to the chicken before I pan-fried and it turned out great (only used 1/2 teriyaki recipe) and I sprinkled some sesame seeds on the chicken before serving. Keeper, for sure!
Lou says
Posting higher review for your teriyaki sauce

Thank you for trying my recipe, Lou! Glad it worked out!

Rebecca says
I am not a fan of teriyaki sauce at all. However my boyfriend and some friends love the stuff so I decided one day to try it and boy oh boy was it delicious! I did add a little more brown sugar than called for and added 2 tablespoons of honey but I was cooking 2.5 pounds of cubed chicken. However can you please tell me what to do to keep it with a little more sauce it coated well there wasn't any juice or sauce left. Thanks for sharing your recipe I look forward to trying out some of your other recipes now.
Cashton says
Not a chef but use less cornstarch if you’d like it to be runnier.
Jaime says
This was so easy and the whole family loved it! Thanks for making this mom feel like a 5-star chef in her family’s eyes! 👍
Anna says
That's the best! Thank you for trying my recipe, Jaime! I am so glad it was a hit!
Shameeka says
I made this meal in about 10 min. I split my boneless breast in half, the longways and the then cut into bite size pieces. Steamed some sliced carrot @. 1” for 3 min then added broccoli heads. My jasmine rice was started as I tossed my chicken pre salted and peppered into the pan . While this was cooking I mixed my glaze but used fresh ginger from a tube I got at the store. Mixed it with my chicken in the pan until it was coated and thickened. Served this to the family and it was a hit.! I only added the carrots and switched to fresh ginger.
Erin says
I had concerns before trying this because I’ve been let down by other teriyaki recipes and I thought this was gonna be too sweet. Well I was wrong! This was on point. My boyfriend even said it tasted like it was from a restaurant. Only changes I made was using rice vinegar because I‘ve had an unopened bottle for a couple months but never have a use for it. I also added some water to the sauce due to the cornstarch since it got a little too thick. This is going to be my go to teriyaki recipe from now on. Thanks!
Anna says
Hi Erin! That's absolutely wonderful! I am so glad the chicken was such a hit! Thank you for giving my recipe a try. Have a beautiful day!
Heather says
This has easily become my families favorite. Problem is, I can seem to make enough of it! It’s never enough and people leave the table wanting more
Amber says
One of my favorites to make! I usually double the sauce cause it’s so tasty 🤗
I suggest mixing the dry ingredients for the sauce first before adding the wet ones...no cornstarch clumps to fight! ❤️
Anna says
Thank you so much, Amber!
Chelsea says
Is there a way to make it a little sweeter? I'm pretty new to cooking anything that requires multiple ingredients.
Lindsey says
Add some honey to it. I’ve seen this on other recipes

I’m kinda new to labels. How much is per serving?
Charlotte Efird says
The label says per serving. So the amounts listed are for one serving and not for the 4 servings the recipe makes.
Janet says
This is delicious.....wish I doubled the recipe 😋
Anna says
Thank you, Janet!
Jason W says
I make this recipe 2 or 3 times a month now. Its my 4 year olds favorite meal and he's always asking when im going to make "sweet chicken with trees" again. Thank you for this simple recipe.

DiAnneM says
I made this today and it was delicious . I substituted the chicken breast fir chicken thighs boneless , I substituted apple cider vinegar for red wine vinegar , and used flour instead of cornstarch because that’s all I had available at the time And of course use the rest of the ingredients in this recipe . It was absolutely delicious . Thank you for sharing this recipe .
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
That's perfect! I love when people play with the recipe with the ingredients they have on hand. Home cooking at it's best! Thank you so much for giving this recipe a try!
Natalie says
I appreciate you sharing the subs!! Super helpful in case I need to replace stuff.
Heather Strong says
There is some sort of magic in this recipe! I can never make everyone happy with what's for dinner, but my WHOLE FAMILY liked this meal! I would probably substitute honey for the vinegar, but will definitely make this again!
Vena says
Thanks for sharing!
Trying tonight for dinner!
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Awesome! I hope you love it, Vena!
Abena says
Looks great, will try it and substitute honey for sugar,

Hi Monica! You can definitely use honey instead of brown sugar. It will be delicious!
Caitlyn says
I recently made this for my kids and they absolutely loved it!!! which by the way are picky eaters! It was absolutely delicious! So good when I took pictures for friends they thought I went out for dinner! Definitely will be on our dinner menu again. Thanks for the recipe!
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Hi Caitlyn! It's awesome to know that even picky eaters love it! Thank you so much for the comment. I am so glad you enjoyed this recipe!
April Murray says
This was so delicious!! And easy! Thank you for sharing your recipe.
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Thank you so much, April!
Maika Andrea San Pedro says
I wanna try this recipe tomorrow! Question tho. I don't have ciders or rice vinegar. Can I use regular vinegar? Also, the ginger, can I just grate a fresh ginger because we don't have that spice in a jar you mentioned at one comment? I hope to hear from you. ❤
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Hi Maika! Yes, you can use white vinegar or even lemon juice. I don't use white vinegar in cooking (just cleaning) and highly recommend apple cider vinegar. You can definitely use fresh ginger. The spice in jar is usually available during holidays because it's used in baked goods like gingerbread. I hope this helps!
Majka says
My my, this was soooooo delicious! Seriously the best thing I have ever cooked at my dormitories. That sauce! That rice! And it goes perfectly with that broccoli. 10/10
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Thank you so much, Majka! I am so glad you love it!
Brittney says
I’ve made this a few times and I love it! What would I do if I want too add shrimp? Should I cook the shrimp with the chicken and it not be too done? Thanks!
amaniah says
This is the best it is so easy to make even my 7 year old daughter can make it
Nakia says
Just tried this recipe today with a couple of substitutes based on what I have in my kitchen and it was simple, delicious, and filling! 😊
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Hi Nakia! That's wonderful! Thank you so much!
Shawn says
This is delicious! I make it often, and my son who lives off Mac and Cheese is a big fan. I am only now starting to count calories and my husband has been on a strict diet. That being said, what is your serving size?
Cheri DeBone says
Great recipe! Wonderful flavor! The whole family loved it! I doubled the chicken as well as the sauce to feed a family of three.
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Hi Cheri! That's wonderful! I absolutely love that your whole family enjoyed my recipe. Thank you!!
Mary Deman says
Made this today but had to sub some items, didn't have any soy sauce so I used terakia sauce. I doubled the sauce recipe, but only used 1/4 c terakie sauce and used 1/2 can chicken broth. I also put some red pepper flakes in it with some red pepper raspberry chipotle sauce. It was so good. I also cooked my vegetables in separate pan. Added meat to sauce. It was so good.
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Hi Mary! I am so glad you were able to make it work with what you had on hand. I love that! Thank you so much for sharing!
Lisa says
I have a question...The nutrition facts labeled 212 calories 14.4 grams of sugar, etc. Is that per serving? Or all 4 servings together? And just wondering how did you come up with these nutrition amounts?
I made this and it came out delicious!!
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Hi Lisa! The amount of calories is calculated per serving, as indicated in the Nutrition facts box. As I mention in the notes of the recipe, it is an estimate and I recommend using a calorie counter that you are familiar with. Hope this helps!
Lisa says
Thanks for your reply! When I checked before I could of sworn I didn't see the “per serving” part. I am deff making this recipe again!! Just wanted to make sure it wont kill my diet 🙂
Randi says
Made this tonight and I thought it was too easy to be good I was soooo wrong. Doubled the chicken and it was ALL GONE! Tripled the sauce because my family likes extra sauce and it is now my daughter’s favorite dish. Thank goodness I searched Pinterest for chicken recipes today! Great recipe!!!
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Hi Randi! Woohoo! That's AWESOME! I am so happy to know you and your daughter love it! Thank you so much!
Kesha says
When you tripled the sauce how much sauce and all did you use
Renee says
This is absolutely amazing..my daughter said she loves it and does not want from the Sushi place anymore..haha! Yeah!!!
So two quick questions can you pre-make the sauce and refrigerate it and use as needed...or, is this something you make directly on the spot?
Also can you use as a marinade?
Thanks so much,
Renee
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Hi Renee! Woohoo!! I am always so happy to hear from parents who made this recipe and the kiddos love it! That's awesome! As far as the sauce, I would not make it in advance because of the cornstarch. It will settle in the bottom and it may affect the final result. I will be sharing my recipe for a teriyaki sauce soon. It will be perfect for this recipe! Stay tuned!
Michelle says
I made this for the first time tonight. Firstly, I followed a pin and man you make it very click-y for people to actually get to the recipe.
I used rice vinegar and I highly recommend people don't skip the ginger or garlic in the sauce..... unless you don't want it to taste like teriyaki lol. It's a delicious recipe AS IS.
Oh I did coat my chicken in cornstarch because I need all the help I can get in not cooking dry chicken. It turned out perfect and juicy.
Thanks for the recipe, I'll be adding this to the rotation!
Gail says
I made this tonight, really easy and delicious! Used diced pork lion as I was out of chicken. Worked perfectly! Will try chicken next time.
Your photos are really good. I arranged my plate just how you showed it! My husband was impressed!
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Hi Gail! That's fantastic! I love to use pork too! I am so happy to know you and your husband enjoyed this dish! Thank you so much for making my recipe and for coming back to let me know!
Maria says
Made this for my family the other night and my dad, who happens to be one of the pickiest and most difficult to please people ever, RAVED about this recipe. He requested I make it again for lunch today. Thanks so much for the recipe, its a winner in our house!
Michele says
I'm not a big fan of vinegar, so I would definitely cut the vinegar in half. BUT, it was very tasty!
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Thank you, Michele!
Christy says
Finally a recipe my whole family agreed on! It's my 9-year-olds favorite now. He wants it at least once a week and he's never requested anything before. Very picky.
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Hi Christy! THANK YOU so much for the comment. It made my day! This is exactly why I enjoy sharing my recipes so much. I love it when parents tell me that the whole family enjoy them and the picky eaters too! 😀 Have a beautiful day!
Mindy says
Can you make this recipe in the Instant Pot???? Any tips?
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Hi Mindy! It's on my list to make in my Instant Pot. I have not tested it yet so I can't say how long it will have to cook. I will update this response as soon as I test the recipe. I hope this helps!
Michelle says
Hi, I would like to try this as a lunch bowl that my daughter (single mom) can just take to work & microwave. Think it would freeze well? Thanks. ~ Michelle
Kelly says
Hi, I was wondering how the vinegar affects the flavor? I happen to have both rice vinegar and apple cider vinegar in the house so I was wondering which would be better, or should I do a tbsp of each instead? Thanks!
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Hi Kelly! You can't taste the apple cider vinegar at all. Feel free to use rice vinegar but I can't tell how it will taste as I have not tested this recipe with it.
Joseline says
I have never tried teriyaki chicken. But my husband absolutely loves it so I thought about making it for him. I was nervous because I wasn’t sure how it was supposed to taste. I followed the recipe exactly except for the vinegar because I didn’t have it. So I added some lemon. He said I made it perfectly and it was better then anything he had tasted. Thank you for the recipe! I will be saving it for the future.
Lilleigh Garner says
absolutly delicous !
Ariana says
Do you have to use soy sauce?
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Hi Ariana! Yes, the soy sauce is a must here.
Ashlie says
Made this tonight and OMG it was so good!! I didn't see that the sauce needed ginger but I put some honey in it and it was perfect!
Cindy says
How much honey? Don’t like ginger to much.
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Hi Cindy! I recommend 1/4 cup of honey. You can always skip the ginger. Hope this helps! -Anna
Diane says
This is a perfect dish. Flavorful and quick and easy to make. I added sirracha cuz we like heat. Thanks for this.

Meagan Nelson says
I don't ever comment on recipe posts - but I had to share with you how much my family loves your recipe. We make it WEEKLY. There are never any leftovers, and my husband literally scrapes all of the sauce out of the pan. Not only is it flavorful, but it is so easy to make. We use Boil in a Bag Jasmine Rice, and microwaveable broccoli - and its an easy weeknight dinner meal. Thank you so much for sharing!
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Hi Meagan! I am so happy to know you and your family love this recipe! THANK YOU so much for letting me know! I use microwaveable broccoli too! So easy and convenient. 😀 Have a beautiful week! -Anna
BlaneMom4 says
I'm allergic to the cider vinegar...is there a substitute or can I just leave it out?
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Hi! You can use rice vinegar or lemon juice. I hope this helps! -Anna
Megan says
This looks delicious! Think I'll make it tonight. I saw on the recipe it says 552 calories... I was wondering if that includes the servings of rice and broccoli also? or just the chicken? Thanks!
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Hi Megan! It's only for the chicken and sauce. I updated the recipe with this note. Have a beautiful week! -Anna
Tisha Maki says
Maybe there's something wrong with my web browser, but I can't find ingredients quantities anywhere! How much ginger, soy sauce, cornstarch and vinegar?

Sheila says
Regarding the rice cooking tip: I assume that olive oil can be used instead of butter. Right?
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Hi Sheila! Thank you for the question. I never use olive oil as I like the results of using butter but yes, olive oil should be fine. Have a beautiful weekend! -Anna
Ofelia says
Do I leave or drain the chicken juice in the pan before I add sauce
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Hi Ofelia! Leave it in the pan.
Christie ferguson says

This week I decided that I would try all new recipes for dinner, all found on Pinterest. One was terrible, a couple were okay, and this one was out of this world amazing! Everyone in my family loved it! My 10-year-old daughter liked her broccoli as long as it had some teriyaki sauce on it. I'm glad I saved this recipe for Friday so we could end this week of experimental dinners on a high note. 🙂

Wow. This is amazing! My family loved it! I did add sesame seeds and didn't have garlic cloves so I used garlic powder. Awesome flavor. It tasted better than Takeout! So glad I found this recipe. Thank you!:-)
