LEMON CHICKEN TERIYAKI



Lemon Chicken Teriyaki image

I spent two days digging through piles of old magazines and recipe clippings trying to find this recipe. My friend Jenny had made a version she found in an old Taste of Home cooking school edition, only she had made her own changes to the recipe. I happened to have the same issue of the magazine, and had written down Jenny's changes in the margin. I finally found that old clipping. This is a great recipe, really fast. I serve this with some stir fried veggies on the side. There are very few recipes I make that I use the bottled lemon juice concentrate in vs fresh, this is one of them. It just isn't the same using fresh lemon juice. This is very much an American-Asian fusion dish, not an authentic Japanese style teriyaki.

Time 45m

Yield 5-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup lemon juice concentrate (ReaLemon bottled kind, not fresh)
1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
honey, to taste (just squirt in a bit, maybe 1-2 Tbsp)
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons cold water
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic (the prechopped kind or carefully measured fresh)
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
5 -6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
4 cups cooked rice, measurement is after cooking (I use Jasmine for this)
1 -2 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped, optional (leave out if you don't have fresh)
lemon slice, as garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Make sure you have already started your rice cooking in order to time it so that you have nice, fresh, steamed rice ready to serve this on once it is ready.
  • In a large skillet, combine lemon juice concentrate, teriyaki sauce, honey, brown sugar, water, garlic, and ginger and allow it to cook over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
  • Add the chicken to the pan and cook partially covered for about 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through, turning the chicken once about halfway through and basting with the sauce.
  • You may need to adjust the heat while cooking the chicken so that you don't burn it.
  • Serve with the hot rice and garnish with some fresh parsley and lemon slices if desired.
  • I slice my cooked chicken on a bias and serve with some of the reduced sauce ladled over the top. If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add a little bit of cornstarch mixed with a bit of water to the sauce after first removing the chicken, let the sauce come to a boil and thicken up (only a few minutes).

Teriyaki and lemon based chicken. This recipe my Mom used to make is to die for. Watch out - it's highly addictive!!

Add pineapple for dessert!

1/2 teaspoon sugar
cooked rice

Steps:

Tips:

  • Use a high-quality teriyaki sauce: This will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Look for a sauce that is made with real soy sauce, mirin, and sake.
  • Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes: This will help the chicken to absorb the flavors of the teriyaki sauce.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from burning.
  • Baste the chicken with the teriyaki sauce frequently: This will help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the chicken with rice or noodles: This will make a complete and satisfying meal.

Conclusion:

Lemon Teriyaki Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the lemon-teriyaki sauce is the perfect balance of sweet and sour. This dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
