Baked Teriyaki Chicken
I have been on a teriyaki kick lately and it is killing my sugar levels.
But grilled and baked chicken are two of my go to meals and this recipe is so good that I just had to put it on the blog.
I added a nice cheesy macaroni and cheese side for the starch. I also served a great strawberry and pineapple spinach salad.
These are the INGREDIENTS You will need:
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon cold water
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup cider vinegar
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 6 skinless boneless chicken breasts
These are THE INSTRUCTIONS for preparation:
- In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the cornstarch, cold water, sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, ginger and ground black pepper. Let simmer, stirring frequently, until sauce thickens and bubbles.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Place chicken pieces in a lightly greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Brush chicken with the sauce. Turn pieces over, and brush again.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Turn pieces over, and bake for another 30 minutes, until no longer pink and juices run clear. Brush with sauce every 10 minutes during cooking.
I could eat this every night, but my common sense holds me back.
The family will ask for the Baked Teriyaki Chicken when they know there are chicken breasts in the fridge.
They are a nice twist in my regular baked chicken.
I never have leftovers either. The recipe is easy and comes together quickly.
If you make a bit more of the teriyaki sauce it goes well with rice and salmon too!
I really hope you give this meal a try!

Thanks Sandy! As always you are just a great member of this team! I appreciate that!
Looks delicious Marilyn but me and mom are allergic to corn related products. Any substitute suggestions? Please advise. Thank you.
Sorry to hear that Horace but good news! Got this from Recipe Magic:
Cornstarch is used to thicken liquids in a variety of recipes such as sauces, gravies, pies, puddings, and stir-fries. It can be replaced with flour, arrowroot, potato starch, tapioca, and even instant mashed potato granules.
Hope you give it a try! Let me know and thanks for visiting.
I love teriyaki chicken, all sweet with lots of sauce to go with it. 🙂
Maureen, I am glad comments are working again! Do you think if I added artificial sweetener it would work? Or honey? I have to try it because I just live this too much!
This Teriyaki chicken looks delicious, I get on those kicks too with certain flavors.
Have a great weekend! Karren
Karren, I thought I was the only one that did that! Glad you stopped by and see you soon at the party!
