Lunch: Jack Daniels™ Teriyaki Chicken

Recipe by Macheesmo Homemade teriyaki sauce is so easy to make and so delicious. You can use this sauce on a million things, but I like it on a simple chicken stir-fry.

Ingredients

1/3 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons Jack Daniels™ whiskey
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon cornstarch

Instructions

To make Jack Daniels™ teriyaki sauce, whisk together all ingredients except water and cornstarch in a small pot over medium-low heat. Whisk well to dissolve sugars and bring to a simmer.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together water and cornstarch so there are no lumps. Add cornstarch mixture to pot and continue to simmer until sauce is thick enough to coat a spoon, about 5-6 minutes. Remove sauce from heat and let cool.
To make stir-fry, add neutral oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add chicken and cook until chicken is cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Then add red peppers and snap peas and cook for just another minute. Don’t overcook the vegetables!
Remove skillet from heat and add half of the teriyaki sauce to the skillet. Toss to combine and coat. Serve over rice with extra sauce on the side.
