Chicken Teriyaki Skewers

Whooooo loves chicken teriyaki? (me hahaha) But seriously, so many of the store-bought marinades have a crazy high sugar content with weird additives, so we could all do with a simple DIY. This recipe is quick, delicious and not to mention HEALTHY!

ServesMakes about 8 skewersPrep15 minutesCook10 minutesTotal25 minutes + 2 hours resting

ingredients

2 Chicken breasts
1/2 cup of soy sauce
2 garlic cloves (crushed)
2 TBSP sesame oil
2 TBSP organic honey
2 TBSP of mirin (sweet rice wine)
3cm of ginger (grated)
2 spring onions, finely sliced
1 tsp sesame seeds
8 skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes if bamboo)

method

Place ginger, soy sauce, garlic, sesame oil, honey and mirin into a large bowl and mix.
Cut excess fat off of chicken breast. Then cut the remaining chicken breast into small cubes.
Add the chicken to the bowl of marinade and let it sit in the fridge for 1-2 hours to marinate.
Thread chicken through skewers and repeat until all chicken has been used.
Cook skewers on a hot pan over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes, turning, until golden and cooked through with no pink in the centre (75°C). Coat with spring onions and sesame seeds as a topping.
