Some tips to consider
- You can store any leftovers in a freezer bag for up to 4 days in the refrigerator and reheat them when needed.
- You can control the sweetness of the sauce by decreasing the honey or sugar added. Also, you can use low sodium soy sauce for a more healthy meal.
- For an authentic Teriyaki sauce, you can use mirin and sake with the soy sauce in a 1:1:1 ratio.
- Chicken breasts can be substituted by chicken thighs in this recipe. Cut them into 1-inch pieces for easier and much quicker cooking.
- For a Teriyaki chicken pineapple dish, add pineapples with the chicken while it’s cooking. Serve it with brown rice for a healthy alternative.
