Tips:

Use a good quality teriyaki sauce: This is the key ingredient in this dish, so make sure you choose a sauce that you enjoy the taste of. There are many different brands and flavors of teriyaki sauce available, so take some time to read the labels and find one that you think you'll like.
Marinate the chicken breasts for at least 30 minutes: This will help the chicken to absorb the flavors of the teriyaki sauce and make it more tender. You can marinate the chicken for longer if you have time, but 30 minutes is the minimum amount of time needed.
Cook the chicken breasts over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out. If you cook the chicken over too high of heat, it will brown too quickly on the outside and be undercooked on the inside.
Baste the chicken breasts with the teriyaki sauce while they are cooking: This will help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful. You can also brush the chicken with the sauce after it is cooked, if you like.
Serve the chicken breasts with rice, noodles, or vegetables: Teriyaki chicken breasts are a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular options include rice, noodles, vegetables, and salads.

Teriyaki chicken breasts are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful teriyaki sauce and then cooked until tender. It can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table!
