Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken breasts in the teriyaki sauce overnight before cooking. If you like a thicker sauce, you can add a cornstarch slurry during the last hour of cooking. Experiment with different vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas for added nutrition and flavor. To store leftovers, let the chicken cool completely, then place in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
