Lemon Chicken Teriyaki Recipes

LEMON CHICKEN TERIYAKI RICE BOWL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. Cook brown rice according to directions.
• Combine soy sauce and cornstarch in a small saucepan, stirring with a whisk. Add brown sugar, mirin, and lemon juice; bring to a boil. Cook 1 minute or until thickened. (Avoid re-dipping spoon after tasting. Enzymes in saliva break down cornstarch and make watery. That is in my humble opinion.).
• Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add canola oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add chicken to pan; cook 4 minutes. Turn; drizzle 1 tablespoon soy sauce mixture over chicken. Place pan in oven; bake at 400° for 8 minutes or until done.
• Place chicken on a cutting board; let stand 5 minutes. Cut chicken into slices.
• Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add Broccolini (string beans or asparagus); cook 3 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain.
• Place 1/2 cup rice in each of 4 bowls; top each serving with 4 ounces chicken and 4 ounces Broccolini. Drizzle about 1 tablespoon remaining soy sauce mixture over each serving and a squeeze of Sriracha.

LEMON CHICKEN TERIYAKI

Steps:

• Make sure you have already started your rice cooking in order to time it so that you have nice, fresh, steamed rice ready to serve this on once it is ready.
• In a large skillet, combine lemon juice concentrate, teriyaki sauce, honey, brown sugar, water, garlic, and ginger and allow it to cook over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
• Add the chicken to the pan and cook partially covered for about 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through, turning the chicken once about halfway through and basting with the sauce.
• You may need to adjust the heat while cooking the chicken so that you don't burn it.
• Serve with the hot rice and garnish with some fresh parsley and lemon slices if desired.
• I slice my cooked chicken on a bias and serve with some of the reduced sauce ladled over the top. If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add a little bit of cornstarch mixed with a bit of water to the sauce after first removing the chicken, let the sauce come to a boil and thicken up (only a few minutes).
