Directions

7. Add the cornstarch slurry to the simmering sauce and stir until thickened.
8. Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and brush with the thickened teriyaki sauce on both sides.
9. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
10. Serve the chicken teriyaki over steamed rice and enjoy!
