Easy Chicken Teriyaki

Have you ever been to the Sarku Japan restaurant?  We have one in our mall and it's soooo yummy.  Sadly, I don't see much of the mall these days

with three tiny tots, so I wanted to be able to indulge my craving for delicious chicken teriyaki at home.

This easy chicken teriyaki is a super simple and fast dinner.  The whole thing can be pulled together in 30 minutes, and it's a real crowd-pleaser. We never have leftovers when I make this because everyone loves it so much.

Plus, it's pretty close to my mall food addiction.  We use the Aldi brand teriyaki sauce (the pineapple teriyaki one with the purple label!) and it works brilliantly, but of course you can use your favorite teriyaki sauce to make this easy chicken teriyaki.  I do advice choosing a marinade-type sauce because your typical teriyaki sauce tends to be very salty, which is great in moderation, but not so great when salt turns out to be the highlight of your dish instead of a sweet, tangy, and flavorful teriyaki.

Ingredients

  • 2.5 pounds chicken tenderloins cut into thin small strips

Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

  • Melt your butter (or heat your oil) in a large skillet over medium-high heat
  • Add your chicken, onions, and about 2 tablespoons of the Teriyaki sauce. Continue cooking until onions are translucent and chicken is cooked through, about 5-10 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and drain some of the drippings from the skillet.
  • Return to heat and add the remaining teriyaki, ginger, and garlic powder. Continue cooking over medium-high heat for another 3-5 minutes so that the teriyaki really coats the chicken.
