Preparation
-
1.In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix well to create the teriyaki marinade.
-
2.Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and place them in a shallow dish. Pour the teriyaki marinade over the chicken, making sure each piece is coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
-
3.Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later use. Cook the chicken in the skillet until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
-
4.In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually whisk in the reserved teriyaki marinade and chicken broth. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
-
5.Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss it in the teriyaki sauce until well coated. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
-
6.Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Treat your ingredients with care...
- Chicken breasts — Make sure to cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
- Soy sauce — Use low-sodium soy sauce if you prefer a less salty flavor.
- Honey — For a vegan alternative, you can substitute maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Red wine vinegar — If you don't have red wine vinegar, you can use apple cider vinegar as a substitute.
- Garlic and ginger — Freshly minced garlic and grated ginger will provide the best flavor.
Tips & Tricks
- For a richer flavor, marinate the chicken overnight in the teriyaki marinade.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water) to the sauce while it's simmering.
- Serve the Teriyaki à la française with steamed rice or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
- Feel free to add a sprinkle of sesame seeds or sliced green onions as a garnish for added visual appeal.
- This dish can also be made with beef, pork, or tofu for a different variation.
