Teriyaki Chicken and Healthy Greens
A quick and simple dinner recipe to get the taste buds dancing
Servings: 4
Calories: 422kcal
Cost: $
Ingredients
- 3 cups healthy greens I like to include veggies like Broccoli, Wombok, Chinese Spinach or Bok Choi
- 3 pieces chicken either breast or thighs (for juicy pieces)
- 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
Sauce
- 3 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tsp corn starch
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 tsp sesame seeds preferably toasted
Instructions
- Combine all of teriyaki sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
- In a cast-iron skillet brown chicken over a medium heat in oil until cooked on all sides and caramelized. Ensure your pan is hot enough otherwise your chicken will broil rather than caramelize.
- Combine teriyaki sauce to pan and stir gently for 1 to 2 minutes until sauce thickens.
- Stir in healthy greens with chicken and sauce. Make sure not to overcook your greens. The dish is better with some texture in the greens.
- Serve over rice with sprinkled sesame seeds and enjoy!
