4 Ingredient Teriyaki Chicken Skewers

Four Ingredient Teriyaki Chicken Skewers are going to change your life. I have long been a fan of honey, soy and garlic chicken, and have made a number of variations over the years. This one though, this one is PERFECT. Even though it is probably the easiest one I have come up with.

After the great response I had from my Chicken and Zucchini Skewers with Salsa Verde I thought it only right to come up with another chicken skewer recipe, more suitable for a weeknight meal.

With only 4 ingredients and one dish – this one couldn’t be easier!

How Easy Is It To Cook 4 Ingredient Teriyaki Chicken Skewers?

You can pop the chicken in the marinade in the morning, and then all you have to do is chuck it under the broiler at dinnertime.

Or, if you are feeling brave, you could always fire up the grill and get them nice and charred on there. At 108 degrees today, there’s no way I am heading outside to cook, so let me know how it goes if you try grilling 🙂

I use these reusable skewers:

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup tamari reduced sodium soy sauce

  • 1/2 cup water
  • 4 cloves of garlic crushed
Instructions

  20. Looks delicious! And I love the fact that the ingredient let is so short. Something about eating off a stick is always appealing to the kids.

  21. Oh my goodness, these skewers look delicious! I love honey and garlic together; we just made some tacos with that combo and we LOOOOVED them!

    • I have tried it with extra firm tofu as well, and it worked really well! I remember eating quorn when I loved in the UK (used to be veggie as well), but I haven’t heard of it in years 🙂

  24. This look delish and made me very hungry. Not being the best cook, I think I can even make these with 4 ingredients. Thanks for sharing.
