"I'm always way too tired. That's when my tried and true easy dinner blueprint-cooked protein covered in a delicious homemade sauce-always comes in handy. This Teriyaki Chicken recipe is one of my new favorite quick and easy dinners. Just like my teriyaki tofu stir fry and teriyaki salmon bowls, it coats seared chicken in a simple homemade teriyaki sauce. Served over rice and veggies, I'm left with something filling and flavorful after only 20 minutes!"

"Soy sauce - It's the base of the homemade teriyaki sauce. I usually go for low-sodium soy sauce, but regular soy sauce works, too. Garlic - I sautéed minced garlic cloves in the pan before combining them with the teriyaki sauce. This really adds a nice savory flavor. Ginger - Try to use fresh ginger if you can. It'll add a punchier flavor that really wakes up the sauce. If you only have ground ginger, use 1/4 teaspoon instead."

Seared boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are diced into bite-sized pieces and cooked until browned. A simple homemade teriyaki sauce combines soy sauce (low-sodium optional), minced garlic, and fresh ginger (or 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger) and is thickened with cornstarch for a glossy finish; arrowroot powder can replace cornstarch 1:1. The seared chicken is coated in the sauce and served over rice, noodles, or vegetables. The dish cooks in about 20 minutes and delivers restaurant-quality flavor with customizable accompaniments for quick weeknight dinners.
