Juicy No-Carb Chicken Teriyaki & Spicy Cucumber Salad | Easy & Tender Dinner

My Sweethearts, When you need a warm hug in a meal, this Chicken Teriyaki is for you. Did you know? "Teri" means glaze, and "Yaki" means grill. That beautiful luster is the heart of this dish, and I’ve finally found the perfect secret ratio for the sauce. Keep this recipe close—it’s a magic seasoning for fried rice or any meat dish too! If you want comfort, serve it over rice. But for a healthy, no-carb day like today, a fresh bed of cabbage is the perfect choice. It’s light, crunchy, and so good for you. Eat well and remember, Mom is always rooting for you. All my love, Mom❤️ 📝INGREDIENTS (2-3 servings) [Main] Chicken Thighs (20oz / Boneless, Skinless) Cabbage (7oz) Onion (½ unit) Cooking Oil Salt & Pepper (for seasoning) Sesame Seeds (for garnish) [Teriyaki Marinade] Soy Sauce (4½Tbsp) Honey (2Tbsp) Rice Vinegar (½Tbsp) Ginger Powder (⅓tsp) Garlic Powder (½tsp) Onion powder(½tsp) Water (4Tbsp) [Spicy&Sweet Cucumber Salad] Cucumber (1 unit) Chili Powder (1 Tbsp) Vinegar (1 Tbsp) Sugar (½Tbsp) Minced Garlic (½tsp) Fish Sauce (½Tbsp) 🧑‍🍳 STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS [Quick Recipe] 1.
