This Easy Grilled Chicken Teriyaki recipe is a delicious and healthy option for a quick meal. With minimal ingredients and simple instructions, you can easily prepare this flavorful dish that combines juicy grilled chicken with a savory and slightly tangy teriyaki sauce.
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of teriyaki sauce, 4 tablespoons of lemon juice, 2 teaspoons of minced garlic, and 2 teaspoons of sesame oil. Stir the mixture until all ingredients are well blended.
- Place the 8 chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
- Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
- Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. For the best flavor, let it marinate for 4 hours or overnight.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375-450°F or 190-230°C).
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess marinade drip off.
- Place the chicken breasts on the grill.
- Grill each side for about 6-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is no longer pink inside.
- Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Optionally, sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish.
Tips:
- Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, to enhance the flavor.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat to ensure even cooking and beautiful grill marks.
- Baste the chicken with extra teriyaki sauce during grilling to keep it moist and add more flavor.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
- Let the grilled chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing to retain its juices.
