How to Make Easy Grilled Chicken Teriyaki

  1. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon sesame oil.
  2. Seal the bag tightly, pressing out excess air. Gently massage the bag to ensure the chicken is evenly coated.
  3. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours, turning the bag occasionally to distribute the marinade.
  4. Preheat your grill to high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  5. Remove the chicken from the bag, discarding the marinade. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
  6. Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork.
