Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized nuggets.
- Dip chicken pieces into beaten egg, then coat with flour.

Tips & Substitutions
For an extra crunch, consider using panko breadcrumbs instead of flour for coating the chicken. If you don't have KC Masterpiece honey teriyaki sauce, any honey teriyaki sauce will work well. For a healthier twist, you can use egg whites instead of a whole egg. This recipe is also great for meal prep; just double the batch for an easy weeknight dinner.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the teriyaki chicken over a bed of steamed rice or alongside stir-fried vegetables for a complete meal. It pairs beautifully with Oriental Omelet(From Joslin Diabetic Clinic) for a varied plate. For a fresh touch, garnish with sliced green onions or sesame seeds. Enjoy it as a main dish or incorporate it into a salad for a lighter option.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the chicken in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave them in short intervals, ensuring they remain moist and don’t dry out.
