Baked Chicken Teriyaki

Submitted by CFRP3473

"Easy and delicious weeknight meal. The sauce thickens while cooking so prep time is at a minimum and is perfect with rice and broccoli. You can use any cut of chicken you like - just adjust the cooking time accordingly."

Delicious! I used 1/3 cup of soy sauce as recommended by other users, and it was definitely perfect. I served it with mashed potatoes and vegetables.This recipe was quick, and easy to follow. My household is nothing but picky eaters who said it was amazing. I would only recommend if you are using boneless breasts to let the sauce thicken in a saucepan and than pour it over the chicken after baking for about 10 minutes. EXCELLENT DISH!

Awesome! I used boneless skinless chicken breast and cooked them for 20 minutes and then flipped them for another 15 minutes. They were so juicy and tender. Thanks!

Made as written with b/s chicken breasts and they came out juicy and tender. I did cook them for 30 minutes since they were a little thick and the sauce thickened up nicely and made a very tasty glaze for the chicken. Made for Name That Ingredient Tag.

This was a delicious recipe. My 6 yr old hates meat and he loved this and the meat was the first thing gone on his plate! I used 1/3 cup reduced sodium soy sauce, 1/4 cup brown sugar and 2 tablespoons white, the orange juice, 3 cloves of grated fresh garlic instead of the powder and white pepper instead of the black. I brought the sauce to a boil in a small saucepan and let it simmer until it thickened. I let it cool and poured it into the bottom of a 13x9 pan. I coated 6 chicken breasts(boneless, skinless) with the sauce, arranged them in a single layer in the pan , covered and refrigerated them for a couple hours. I pulled them out at dinnertime, uncovered them and baked them at 375 for 30 minutes , basting and turning them over occasionally. When they were ready I turned the broiler on high and let them cook a few minutes to thickenen up the glaze, they were wonderful ! These will be in my regular rotation. I served them with fried rice and peas&carrots. Thanks, this was just what I was looking for.

Excellent and easy! I cut out the white sugar and used boneless/skinless chicken thighs. I baked it for the 1st 30 mins at 435* but reduced the heat to 375* for the next 20 mins. I think w/ boneless pieces, the cooking time was shorter. Next time, I'll cook at 375* instead. The chicken was perfect for my tastes and I have leftovers to take for lunches this week. I love the teriyaki flavor and this recipe is easy enough to prepare after work. Thanks for sharing this recipe.... it will be made again!!!
