  • Total Time: 52 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Chicken and Marinade

  • 1 lb chicken breast, cubed
  • 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

Other

  • Wooden skewers

Instructions

  1. Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, combine the teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil to create the marinade.
  2. Marinate Chicken: Add the cubed chicken breast to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  3. Thread Chicken: Soak wooden skewers in water for 10 minutes to prevent burning, then thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers evenly.
  4. Grill or Broil Skewers: Preheat your grill or broiler. Cook the skewers for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with remaining marinade to keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
  5. Serve: Remove from heat once chicken is thoroughly cooked and glazed, then serve hot for a delicious meal.

Notes

  • Soaking wooden skewers prevents them from burning during cooking.
  • Ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
  • Serve with steamed rice and vegetables for a complete meal.
  • Can be made gluten-free by using gluten-free soy sauce and teriyaki sauce.
  • Leftover skewers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
