In a medium-sized bowl, add the chicken breasts. Pour in the prepared teriyaki sauce, reserving about 1/4 cup for later. Make sure the chicken is well coated, allowing it to marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb those delicious flavors.
While the chicken is marinating, preheat your grill to high heat. This step is crucial as a hot grill ensures the chicken gets those lovely grill marks and prevents it from sticking.
Once the grill is hot, place the marinated chicken on the grill. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. You want to achieve a nice golden-brown color, indicating that the chicken is perfectly grilled. Remember, cook until the chicken is no longer pink in the center.
As the chicken finishes cooking, baste it with the reserved teriyaki glaze. This adds an extra layer of flavor and keeps the chicken moist. Let it cook for an additional minute after basting.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes. Resting allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring every bite is juicy and flavorful.
For serving, slice the chicken into strips, and arrange it on a platter. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for a stunning presentation that’s sure to impress!
