Number Of Ingredients 19

3 tablespoons low sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons sherry wine or 2 tablespoons dry white wine
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced
4 teaspoons low sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1/2 lemon, Juice of
1 pinch red pepper flakes
10 -12 ounces chicken breast halves, boneless, skinless (2)
2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
1 cup broccoli floret (fresh or frozen, thawed if frozen)
1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup shiitake mushroom, sliced
1/2 cup red onion, diced
1/2 cup fresh bean sprout, rinsed
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
cooked rice

Steps:

  • Combine broth, sherry, brown sugar, 2 teaspoons each of garlic and ginger, soy sauce, vinegar, lemon juice, and pepper flakes in a bowl.
  • Sear chicken breasts in 1 teaspoons oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until deeply brown on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Remove chicken from pan.
  • Deglaze pan with broth mixture and simmer until sauce is reduced to a syrup, about 5 minutes more. Return chicken to pan to coat with sauce. Transfer chicken and sauce (there will only be a little sauce) to dinner plates; tent to keep warm.
  • Wipe skillet with a paper towel.

  • Serve with chicken breasts and rice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken breasts: For this recipe, boneless, skinless chicken breasts work best. They cook quickly and evenly, and they're easy to slice into strips.
  • Use a good quality teriyaki sauce: The teriyaki sauce is the star of this dish, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a sauce that is thick and flavorful, with a balance of sweet, savory, and salty flavors.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will make it more difficult to get a good sear.
  • Cook the chicken until it's cooked through: Be sure to cook the chicken until it's cooked through. This will help to ensure that it's safe to eat and that it has a tender and juicy texture.
  • Serve the chicken immediately: Smothered teriyaki chicken breasts are best served immediately. This will help to ensure that the chicken is hot and juicy and that the teriyaki sauce is still flavorful.

Conclusion:

Smothered teriyaki chicken breasts are a quick and easy weeknight meal that's packed with flavor. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the teriyaki sauce is sweet, savory, and salty. This dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
