LEMON CHICKEN TERIYAKI



Lemon Chicken Teriyaki image

I spent two days digging through piles of old magazines and recipe clippings trying to find this recipe. My friend Jenny had made a version she found in an old Taste of Home cooking school edition, only she had made her own changes to the recipe. I happened to have the same issue of the magazine, and had written down Jenny's changes in the margin. I finally found that old clipping. This is a great recipe, really fast. I serve this with some stir fried veggies on the side. There are very few recipes I make that I use the bottled lemon juice concentrate in vs fresh, this is one of them. It just isn't the same using fresh lemon juice. This is very much an American-Asian fusion dish, not an authentic Japanese style teriyaki.

Categories     Lemon

Time 45m

Yield 5-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup lemon juice concentrate (ReaLemon bottled kind, not fresh)
1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
honey, to taste (just squirt in a bit, maybe 1-2 Tbsp)
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons cold water
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic (the prechopped kind or carefully measured fresh)
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
5 -6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
4 cups cooked rice, measurement is after cooking (I use Jasmine for this)
1 -2 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped, optional (leave out if you don't have fresh)
lemon slice, as garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Make sure you have already started your rice cooking in order to time it so that you have nice, fresh, steamed rice ready to serve this on once it is ready.
  • In a large skillet, combine lemon juice concentrate, teriyaki sauce, honey, brown sugar, water, garlic, and ginger and allow it to cook over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
  • Add the chicken to the pan and cook partially covered for about 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through, turning the chicken once about halfway through and basting with the sauce.
  • You may need to adjust the heat while cooking the chicken so that you don't burn it.
  • Serve with the hot rice and garnish with some fresh parsley and lemon slices if desired.
  • I slice my cooked chicken on a bias and serve with some of the reduced sauce ladled over the top. If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add a little bit of cornstarch mixed with a bit of water to the sauce after first removing the chicken, let the sauce come to a boil and thicken up (only a few minutes).

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will make the cooking process much smoother and less stressful.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The fresher and better-quality your ingredients are, the tastier your dish will be. If possible, use organic and free-range meat and poultry, and fresh vegetables and fruits.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking chicken, make sure to give it enough space in the pan so that it can cook evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will steam instead of fry and won't be as crispy.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: Cooking the chicken over medium heat will help it to cook evenly without burning. If you cook the chicken over high heat, it will brown too quickly on the outside and be undercooked on the inside.
  • Use a meat thermometer: The best way to ensure that your chicken is cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken breast and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Teriyaki lemon chicken is a quick, easy, and delicious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of teriyaki sauce, lemon, and garlic creates a flavorful marinade that infuses the chicken with tons of flavor. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a restaurant-quality dish at home in under 30 minutes. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give teriyaki lemon chicken a try. You won't be disappointed!
