Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• ¾ cup low sodium soy sauce
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoon water + 2 tablespoon cornstarch
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1.5 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch cubes)
• ½ medium green bell pepper (cut into 1-inch cubes)
• ½ medium red bell pepper (cut into 1-inch cubes)
• ½ medium yellow bell pepper (cut into 1-inch cubes)
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (to garnish)

Steps

1. 1

   Heat a skillet over medium flame, and add sesame oil, ginger, and garlic. Saute for a minute and add soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch slurry, and salt. Bring it to a boil until the mixture starts to thicken and simmer for 3-4 minutes. Allow the teriyaki sauce to cool down.

2. 2

   To a bowl, add the chicken pieces and pour half of the prepared teriyaki sauce and marinate the chicken for at least 1 hour.

3. 3

   Thread a piece of chicken onto a wooden or metal skewer, followed by bell pepper and then a chicken piece and repeat until the end of the skewers.

4. 4

   Place the chicken skewers on the griddle or grill pan and cook for 8-10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through turning the skewers often.

5. 5

   Once done, brush the reserved teriyaki sauce over and garnish the chicken skewers with green onions and sesame seeds and serve.
