Servings: 4
Ingredients

- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
For the teriyaki sauce: *or substitute with a pre-made teriyaki sauce of choice
- ½ cup low sodium soy sauce

Instructions
- Heat oil in a large skillet on medium high heat. Season chicken with salt and black pepper.
- Add cubed chicken and brown chicken until cooked through and it is no longer pink.
- While the chicken is browning, prepare your teriyaki sauce. In a medium size mixing bowl whisk together soy sauce, orange juice, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic. In a separate bowl stir together the cornstarch and water until smooth. Slowly whisk the cornstarch mixture into the sauce.
- Once chicken is browned and cooked through, add the homemade teriyaki sauce to the skillet and continue to cook stirring until the sauce has thickened.
- Serve immediately with white or brown rice and steamed vegetables of your choice. Spoon extra teriyaki sauce over the rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onion.
Notes
If you prefer to mix the vegetables in with the sauce- I recommend stamping them first before adding them in step 4!
