In this yummy recipe, tender chicken pieces are coated in a delicate breading, perfectly fried to golden perfection, and then adorned with a drizzle of glossy teriyaki sauce that pools around the edges. With a finishing touch of toasted sesame seeds and fresh green onions, every bite is a burst of flavor. Let’s begin!

  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 15 minutes
  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 thin sliced boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions, sliced

Instructions

  1. In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs.
  2. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
  3. Dredge the chicken in the flour, dip it in the beaten eggs, and then coat it with breadcrumbs. Ensure the chicken is evenly coated.
  4. In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels. Let cool slightly and then slice into bite-sized strips.
  5. In a small saucepan, gently warm the teriyaki sauce over low heat.
  6. To serve, place the crispy chicken strips on a plate, drizzle with teriyaki sauce, and sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

Notes

For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the chicken strips in teriyaki sauce for 15-20 minutes before breading and frying. For an even crispier texture, opt for panko breadcrumbs. Feel free to customize the sauce by adding a dash of Sriracha or crushed red pepper flakes if you prefer a hint of heat. Serve your Crispy Teriyaki Chicken over a bed of steamed white rice or alongside stir-fried vegetables for a complete meal.
