Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 2 chicken breasts, sliced thinly
- 1/2 lb (approx. 225g) shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
- 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp sesame seeds, for garnish
- 2 green onions, chopped, for garnish
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Preparation:
Step 1: In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, and honey. Add the sliced chicken to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Let it marinate for 15 minutes.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken slices and sear until they are cooked through, with a light golden color on the edges. This should take around 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.
Step 3: In the same pan, melt 4 tbsp of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4: Add the shrimp to the pan, cooking for 3-4 minutes until they turn pink and are fully cooked. Make sure not to overcook the shrimp as they can become rubbery.
Step 5: Return the seared chicken back into the pan with the shrimp. Drizzle the remaining teriyaki sauce over the mixture, tossing everything together so the flavors meld beautifully.
Step 6: For the final touch, garnish the dish with sesame seeds and freshly chopped green onions before serving hot.
Notes
Cooking Notes:
- Use fresh shrimp if possible for the best flavor, but frozen shrimp can be a convenient substitute. Thaw and pat them dry before cooking.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey to taste. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of chili flakes.
- The chicken should be cooked on medium-high heat for a good sear, but be cautious not to overcook it as it can become dry.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently to prevent overcooking the shrimp.
