Ingredients

  • 1 pound Boneless Skinless Chicken Tenders
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
  • For the Teriyaki Sauce:
  • ¼ cup Brown Sugar
  • ½ cup Low Sodium Soy Sauce
  • ¼ cup Rice Vinegar
  • ¼ cup Honey
  • 2 teaspoons Minced Garlic
  • ½ teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • 1 Tablespoon Cornstarch

For the Toppings:

  • 2 Tablespoons Sesame Seeds
  • 2 Stalks Green Onions diced

Instructions

  • Preheat your grill over medium high heat to approximately 350 degrees F. Spray the grill grates with a non-stick cooking spray or rub with oil to prevent the chicken from sticking to the grates.
  • Place the chicken on the grill on top of the oil.  Season it with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken for 4-6 minutes per side until the chicken is almost cooked through (internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit).
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients.  Brush this mixture onto the chicken tenders on the grill.
  • Then cook for 1 more minute until the chicken is browned and the sauce is caramelized.
  • Remove, let sit for 5 minutes.  Then serve topped with the sesame seed and diced green onions.  Enjoy!

Notes

Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days. 
We use an instant-read meat thermometer to make sure that the chicken is cooked to a safe temperature.
