Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
• 10 bamboo skewers
• 15 fluid ounces teriyaki sauce
• 6 tablespoons sesame oil
• 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
• 0.25 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 packet cooked long-grain brown rice

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Soak bamboo skewers in warm water for 1 hour.

Step 3

While skewers soak, mix teriyaki sauce, sesame oil, lemon juice, garlic, and sweetener together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add chicken, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour; the longer you marinate, the better the flavor.

Step 4

Thread chicken onto bamboo skewers and place on a nonstick shallow baking pan. Discard marinade. Sprinkle chicken with sesame seeds.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until chicken pieces are no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, 30 to 40 minutes.
