  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

  2. Marinate chicken: Combine chicken with teriyaki sauce in a bowl; let sit for at least 15 minutes.

Keywords: Feel free to substitute zucchini with broccoli or bell peppers for variety. Marinating chicken longer enhances tenderness and flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
