Ingredients

2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
1 cup low-sodium soy sauce
0.5 cup white sugar
0.25 cup mirin (Japanese sweet wine)
4 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
3 cloves garlic, minced
0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water until dissolved; set aside. In a saucepan, combine soy sauce, sugar, mirin, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes over medium heat. Simmer until the mixture begins to bubble. Slowly whisk in the cornstarch mixture, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until thickened, stirring frequently, about 10 minutes.
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and arrange in a baking dish. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken breasts, ensuring all sides are coated evenly.
Bake the chicken breasts in the preheated oven until they are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, approximately 25 to 30 minutes. Use an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees F (75 degrees C).
