Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon teriyaki sauce
Instructions
- Combine the chicken breast pieces with soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper. Marinate for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Preheat a large griddle or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add oil to the pan, then add the chicken and minced garlic. Cook for 2 minutes.
- Add butter and teriyaki sauce to the pan.
- Continue to cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, about 2 to 3 minutes more.
- Serve hot.
Notes
Substitute chicken thighs for breast for juicier meat, or use tofu for a vegetarian version. Soy sauce can be replaced with tamari for a gluten-free option. Make ahead by marinating chicken overnight; store cooked chicken in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop to maintain juiciness. If chicken is dry, reduce cooking time or ensure not to overcrowd the pan.
