Teriyaki Chicken Thighs with Sesame Seeds

This is a quick and easy recipe for teriyaki chicken. You can either marinate this chicken or prepare it right before you cook. You can have this dish on the table in 30 minutes or less. I whipped this chicken up in no time and served it with couscous and spinach. It was a healthy meal with a lot of flavor. 

Ingredients:
  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, rinsed
  • 2 tbsp teriyaki sauce
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp ground pepper
  • sesame seeds, to top

  1. In a large ziploc bag, combine teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, kosher salt, garlic powder and ground pepper. Zip and shake well to mix.
  2. Place rinsed chicken pieces into bag and shake again to saturate. Marinate for at least 5 minutes {or place in fridge for longer marinating time}.
  3. In a large non-stick stove-top skillet over medium-high heat, arrange chicken thighs evenly in pan with marinade. Cook chicken pieces for 8 to 10 minutes on one side, then flip chicken pieces over and cook for another 8 to 10 minutes, or until lightly browned.  Sprinkle chicken pieces with sesame seeds and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. 
Enjoy!
