Pineapple Chicken Teriyaki

It starts with some cubed chicken breast, although chicken thighs also work well.

Recipe Summary Pineapple Chicken Teriyaki

I love Japanese chicken teriyaki, but I find most recipes lack a little pizzazz. This recipe has even the most finicky of eaters in my household cleaning their plates and coming back for seconds. Serve with steamed rice.

Ingredients | Teriyaki Chicken Chicken Stir Fry Recipes

1 cup water

¼ cup soy sauce

5 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon dark molasses

½ tablespoon fresh ground ginger

1 teaspoon minced garlic

¼ cup water

2 tablespoons cornstarch

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste

3 large chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 (16 ounce) package frozen oriental-style vegetables

1 (8 ounce) can sliced water chestnuts

1 (8 ounce) can pineapple tidbits in juice, drained and juice reserved

1 tablespoon cornstarch

⅛ teaspoon sesame oil

Directions

Combine water, 1/4 cup plus 5 tablespoons soy sauce, molasses, ginger, and garlic in a saucepan and bring to a gentle boil, about 5 minutes. Combine water and cornstarch in a bowl; add to saucepan and stir until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Set sauce aside.

Heat oil in a large wok or frying pan over medium heat until sizzling. Add garlic, red pepper flakes, and chicken. Cook until chicken is no longer pink inside, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Add frozen vegetables and water chestnuts to wok and cook until heated through, about 10 minutes. Add drained pineapple and prepared sauce; bring mixture to a simmer, about 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine reserved pineapple juice and cornstarch in a small bowl. Add mixture to wok and stir until slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and quickly stir in sesame oil.
