To a pan on the stove over medium high heat add the oil once the oil is hot add in the chicken season with the salt and pepper sear the chicken on each side for 3 minutes.

This is a great starting point / inspiration recipe and came together very quickly – exactly what’s needed on those “I don’t want to cook but we need to eat” nights. I chose to add a couple more ingredients to the teriyaki sauce – a half-tsp of garlic and a tsp of crystalized ginger. While letting the chicken rest a few minutes in the sauce, I sliced and cooked an onion in the skillet , removed and set it aside. Then cooked the chicken in the same skillet, adding the sauce and adding back in the onion.
