oops found the print link……it’s hiding under the ‘pin it’ button that keeps popping up!
Trying this out today because I’ll be outside Spring cleaning and want something yummy when I’m done. Family loves teriyaki chicken, so I doubled the recipe. Used breast tenderloins to make it simpler, and will serve over jasmine rice, and mixing in onion, green pepper and pineapple.
This really looks and want to try it. The picture looks like it has sesame seeds but doesn’t call for it in the recipe. Does it have sesame seeds?
The picture does have sesame seeds. It is an optional thing.
I made this yesterday and it is really easy and yummy. I have 2 tiny alterations. First I cut my chicken breast in chunks and then tossed them in cornstarch. By doing this the dish cooked faster and the sauce thickened as it cooked. Saves time and extra step and dirty pot.
