👩‍🍳 Instructions (The AI's Game Plan)

🎯 Follow along with our AI chef's step-by-step adventure. Results may vary wildly!

1

In a bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger. Stir until the sugar is dissolved to make the teriyaki sauce.

⏱️ 5 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Mix well to ensure the sugar is fully dissolved
2

Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour 3/4 of the teriyaki sauce over the chicken. Reserve the remaining sauce for later. Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.

⏱️ 30 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Marinating helps infuse flavor and tenderize the chicken
3

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess marinade drip off. Sear the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until cooked through, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

⏱️ 14 min (ish) 🌡️ Medium-high heat

AI Wisdom: Chicken should develop a caramelized crust
4

Pour the reserved teriyaki sauce into the skillet with the chicken. Allow the sauce to thicken and coat the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes.

⏱️ 3 min (ish) 🌡️ Medium heat

AI Wisdom: The sauce will glaze the chicken beautifully
5

Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve with steamed rice and vegetables.

⏱️ 5 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Resting the chicken helps retain juices
