Description
This 3-Ingredient Teriyaki Chicken is a quick and easy dinner that combines juicy chicken with a sweet-salty glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cubed
- 1 cup soy sauce (regular or tamari for gluten-free)
- ½ cup packed brown sugar (light or dark)
Instructions
- Mix: Stir soy sauce and brown sugar in a bowl until mostly dissolved. Add cubed chicken, toss to coat, and marinate 30 mins (room temp) or overnight (fridge).
- Cook: Pour chicken and marinade into a large skillet. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Simmer & Glaze: Cook 15 mins, stirring occasionally. Sauce will thicken. For stickier glaze, raise heat in the last 2 mins, stirring constantly.
- Finish: Remove from heat once sauce is glossy and chicken is fully cooked (165°F). Let rest 5 mins—it thickens more as it cools.
