Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil to create the teriyaki sauce.
Step 2: Marinate the chicken breasts in the teriyaki sauce for at least 30 minutes.

Step 4: Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 6: Garnish with sliced green onions and serve with steamed rice or veggies.
