Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in teriyaki sauce for an hour before cooking. For a thicker sauce, remove the chicken after cooking and let the sauce simmer on the stove for a few minutes. You can switch up this recipe by using different proteins such as sliced beef or tofu, or try different sauces like honey garlic or barbecue sauce.
