Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds optional
  • Cooked rice for serving

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, and minced ginger until well combined.
  2. Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
  3. Preheat your grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later.
  4. Grill or cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  5. While the chicken is resting, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the saucepan and bring the marinade to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens.
  6. Steam the broccoli florets until tender, about 4-5 minutes.
  7. Serve the sliced teriyaki chicken over cooked rice, drizzled with the thickened sauce, and alongside the steamed broccoli. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
