Ingredients
- •Soy Sauce, Low Sodium(120g)
- •Brown sugar(80g)
- •Garlic(15g)
- •Ginger, Fresh Root(10g)
- •Cornstarch(30g)
- •3 Cups Water (Divided, $0.00)
- •Chicken Breast, Boneless Skinless(907g)
Boneless skinless. Buy in bulk and freeze — Costco rotisserie packs work too.
- •White Rice(240g)
Instructions
- 1Preheat the grill to 375°F. If you use wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes. Gather and prepare all ingredients.
- 2Stir together the soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a medium-sized pot over medium heat.**
- 3Bring the mixture to a simmer. Whisk 1 cup of water and cornstarch in a small bowl, then stir it into the pot. Continue whisking until the sauce thickens and turns glossy, 2-3 minutes. Let it cool before moving to the next step.
- 4Using a ziplock bag, place the cubed chicken and ⅔ of the teriyaki sauce in the bag, about 10oz. Let it marinate for 30 minutes. Reserve the remaining ⅓ of the sauce for basting later.
- 5Once the grill is hot, thread the chicken onto the skewers, leaving space between pieces. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side, basting with the remaining teriyaki sauce as you turn. Continue flipping until the chicken reaches 165°F, then remove from the grill.
- 6Meanwhile, cook the rice using the remaining water and follow the directions on the container. Once the rice is done, fluff with a fork and serve with the teriyaki chicken skewers.
