Mouthwatering Kikkoman Teriyaki Chicken Recipe At Home
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 cup Kikkoman Teriyaki Sauce or use Kikkoman Soy Sauce and mirin for a more traditional twist
- 1/4 cup shishito peppers sliced
- 1 head butterhead lettuce washed and separated into leaves
- 1 stalk green onion finely chopped
- 2 tbsp mirin optional for extra sweetness
- Sesame seeds optional for garnish
Instructions
Marinate The Chicken:
- Start by marinating the chicken thighs in Kikkoman Teriyaki Sauce. Let them sit in the marinade for at least 15 minutes, but if you have time, longer is better (up to 2 hours for maximum flavor!).
Heat The Oil:
- In a large skillet or grill pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated chicken thighs.
Cook The Chicken:
- Cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side, until they develop a nice brown sear. Don’t overcrowd the pan—give the chicken space to breathe!
Add The Veggies:
- After the chicken is cooked through, toss in the shishito peppers and let them sauté with the chicken for another 2-3 minutes. The peppers will add a delicious smoky flavor.
Assemble The Dish:
- Lay out the butterhead lettuce leaves on a serving platter. Place a piece of teriyaki chicken on each leaf, spooning over any extra sauce from the pan. Garnish with green onion and a sprinkle of sesame seeds if desired.
Serve & Enjoy:
- Serve immediately with a side of steamed rice, or eat it as a lettuce wrap for a low-carb option.
