Panda Express Teriyaki ChickenIngredients

  • 1 pound chicken thighs, boneless and skinless, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup carrots, sliced
  • 1/2 cup green onions, chopped

For the Teriyaki Sauce

  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, water, sesame oil, minced garlic, and minced ginger to create the teriyaki sauce. Whisk until smooth and set aside.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and stir-fry until lightly browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken and vegetables, stirring to coat everything evenly. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
