How to make teriyaki chicken:

• Start by making the teriyaki sauce.
• Add vegetable oil to a heated skillet. Cook chicken until completely done.
• Set chicken aside, add more oil to skillet and add vegetables. Stir and cook for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables start to soften.
  • I used broccoli, peppers and carrots. You can use your favorite veggies like snow peas, edamame, mushrooms or even pineapple.
• Place chicken back into skillet and pour in sauce. Stir to coat chicken and veggies. Top with sesame seeds and green onion.
