How to Make Teriyaki Lemon Chicken Quick And Easy

  1. Pat 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts dry and dredge in 1/2 cup all-purpose flour.
  2. Spray a large skillet with cooking spray.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons butter or margarine to the skillet and melt over medium heat.
  4. Add chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, until lightly browned.
  5. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  6. In the same skillet, whisk together 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon sugar.
  7. Return chicken breasts to the skillet.
  8. Simmer for 3 minutes, turning halfway through.
  9. Continue cooking until chicken is fork-tender and the sauce has thickened slightly (about 5-7 more minutes).
  10. If desired, whisk 1-2 teaspoons cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of cold water to create a slurry. Add to the sauce and simmer for 1 minute, or until thickened.
  11. Serve immediately over cooked rice. Garnish with extra sesame seeds (optional).
  12. Serve with sugar snap peas and a side of pineapple for dessert.
