Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup P.F. Chang's® Teriyaki Sauce separated
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs, chopped into bite-sized chunks
  • 2 teaspoons freshly minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
  • Sliced green onions for garnish
  • Toasted sesame seeds for garnish

Equipment

  • Large skillet

Method
 

  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients. Chop your chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces, peel and mince the garlic, and grate the ginger. This makes the cooking process easier. You don’t want to scramble around in the kitchen while the pan is sizzling away!
  2. In a bowl, combine the chopped chicken with 1/2 cup of the teriyaki sauce, the honey, minced garlic, ginger, and chili flakes. Let it sit for about 15-20 minutes. This step might feel like a waiting game, but it’s worth it! The chicken soaks up all those fabulous flavors, ensuring every bite is delicious.
  3. In a large skillet, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat. This oil has a high smoke point, making it perfect for frying. It’ll keep the chicken from sticking as it cooks.
  4. Add the marinated chicken to the skillet, disposing of the leftover marinade. Sauté in the pan for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally. The goal? A golden-brown exterior with a safe internal temperature of 165°F! Your kitchen will start smelling heavenly.
  5. Once the chicken is cooked, pour in the remaining 1/4 cup of P.F. Chang's Teriyaki Sauce. Give everything a good stir and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes to thicken. This is where the magic happens. You’ll see the sauce become thick and sticky, coating the chicken perfectly.
  6. Remove the skillet from the heat and serve hot. Don’t forget to sprinkle on those sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds on top. They bring flavor and an elegant appearance. Now look at that presentation—you moved from home cook to chef in no time!

Notes

  • P.F. Chang's® Teriyaki Sauce: A key component, this sauce offers the perfect balance of sweetness and a hint of savory. It’s a time-saver, but feel free to use your homemade sauce if you’re adventurous.
  • Honey: This acts as a natural sweetener. It helps balance the salty notes of the soy sauce and gives the chicken a lovely glaze when cooked.
  • Chicken Thighs: Chopped and tender, these allow for juicy bites. While you could use chicken breasts, thighs offer richer flavor.
  • Garlic and Ginger: Freshness is key here. They work together to provide depth. Don’t skip on using fresh over powdered!
  • Canola Oil: This is a neutral oil. It allows the flavors to shine without being overwhelming.
  • Chili Flakes: Just a sprinkle will add gentle heat without overpowering the dish. Feel free to adjust according to your spice preference.
  • Green Onions and Sesame Seeds: These garnishes make it pretty and add texture. They are the show-stealers that transform the dish.
