Ingredients
Instructions
- Cover a shallow baking pan with foil.
- Soak chicken in teriyaki sauce for about 2 hours. Drain well.
- Drop chicken in mayonnaise and coat both sides with bread crumbs.
- Place chicken in the prepared pan.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then turn the chicken over.
- Continue baking for an additional 15 to 20 minutes or until the chicken is done and browned.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken overnight in the teriyaki sauce. If you don’t have mayonnaise, plain yogurt can work as a substitute for coating the chicken. To make the dish gluten-free, opt for gluten-free breadcrumbs and tamari instead of shoyu. For a crunchier coating, double dip the chicken in mayonnaise and breadcrumbs.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the oven fried teriyaki chicken with a side of steamed broccoli or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. It pairs beautifully with Tomato Fried Rice for a comforting dinner. For an Asian-inspired feast, consider adding Dad'S Stir-Fry or Chinese Shrimp And Rice to the table as complementary dishes.
