5 Ingredient Chinese Teriyaki Dinner
We love teriyaki chicken in any form: grilled on a stick, stir-fried with various vegetables, or in this skillet meal with broccoli! It’s as easy as it sounds and can be made super quickly if you have leftover chicken ready. I always say make extra, but who has 2+ pounds of pre-cooked chicken laying around, right? Well… I did! When I went to the store, I had meals planned out for the next few days. So, I took a shortcut! When I roasted potatoes the night before, I just roasted my chicken thighs at the same time. I let them cool, went ahead and shredded them, and put them in the fridge.
Don’t worry!! If you don’t have pre-cooked chicken, just cook the chicken in the same skillet beforehand. You are still one pot and 5 ingredients away from an easy Chinese dinner!
