Ingredients

1 tablespoon peanut oil or vegetable oil
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts tenders or thighs, cut into bite-size pieces
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon mirin
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Cooked rice noodles, or lettuce cups for serving
Chopped green onions for serving optional
Chopped fresh cilantro for serving optional
Toasted sesame seeds for serving optional

Instructions

Heat the oil in a large saucepan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until golden brown on all sides. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
Add the teriyaki sauce, honey, and mirin and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
Dissolve the cornstarch in about 2 tablespoons of water and add the mixture to the pan. Simmer for 1 to 2 minutes, until the sauce thickens and the chicken is cooked through.
Serve the chicken and sauce over rice or Asian noodles, or in lettuce cups and top with green onions, cilantro, and sesame seeds, if using.
