Cook the Teriyaki Sauce
Pour the teriyaki sauce mixture into a pot and bring to a boil. Once the teriyaki sauce is boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for about 4 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Remove the pot from the stove and let the teriyaki sauce cool to complete the process.
Note: When the teriyaki sauce has completely cooled, pour it into airtight containers and store it in the refrigerator to keep it for a long time.

Final product
With the sauce prepared, you can divide it to drizzle over the meat before grilling.
The sauce not only penetrates evenly to make the meat tender, shiny, and flavorful but also helps protect the piece of meat from harmful substances that may cause cancer during the grilling process.

Ingredients for Grilled vegetable chicken skewers with teriyaki sauce For 4 people
Chicken breast 300 gr Onion 1 bulb Green bell pepper 1 piece Red bell pepper 1 piece Cooking oil 2 tablespoons Teriyaki sauce 5 tablespoons
How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh chicken breast
- To choose good chicken breast, select pieces with white skin, as this indicates the chicken is mature and the meat will be firmer and tastier. When you press your hand on the meat, it should have elasticity and not be mushy.
- Avoid choosing pieces of breast that have many white stripes; the more stripes there are, the lower the amount of fat and protein, and when cooked, the meat will absorb seasoning less effectively.
How to choose good bell peppers
- When buying bell peppers, you should choose those with a shiny, thick, smooth skin and still have the stem attached. It’s best to buy heavier peppers with bright colors, as these are fresh, tasty, and nutritious.
- Avoid selecting bell peppers that are soft, feel flimsy, or have blemishes and cracks on the skin, as these are spoiled and lack nutrients.
- For this dish, you should choose male bell peppers (those with a tail that divides into three parts) to ensure the dish is flavorful and that the peppers do not become mushy when grilled.
- Additionally, you should only buy bell peppers from reputable supermarkets and food stores to ensure that the products have been quality-tested and have a clear origin.

Prepare chicken
The chicken breast you bought should be skinned, washed with water, then rubbed evenly with salt on the breast piece, and washed again with clean water to eliminate the fishy smell. Let it drain or use a clean towel to dry.
Then, cut the chicken breast into square pieces about 2 – 3 cm thick.
Tip to prepare chicken breast without a fishy smell:
- After rubbing with salt, you can use a mixture of wine and sliced ginger, crush it and rub it all over the breast piece again to help eliminate the fishy smell and dirt. Wash clean and let it drain.
- Alternatively, you can also put lemon in the water, soak the chicken breast for 15 – 20 minutes. After that, take it out, rinse it with cold water, and let it drain.
Chicken skewers
Prepare clean skewers, then alternately skewer onions, green bell peppers, red bell peppers, and chicken meat. Continue skewering in this order until finished.
Grilled Chicken Skewers
Place a pan on the stove, add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil into the pan, turn on medium heat, and wait for the oil to heat up before adding the chicken skewers. When the skewers are slightly cooked, turn them over.
Drizzle Sauce
After turning the skewers, brush teriyaki sauce on top. Do this until the skewers are evenly cooked and absorb the seasoning, then turn off the heat.
Final Product
Grilled chicken skewers with teriyaki sauce are delicious with the fresh sweetness of bell peppers and onions, plus tender and flavorful chicken with a rich sauce that’s very appealing. Eating with a bit of chili sauce will make it even better.
