# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat oven to 175°C. Lightly coat a 33x23 cm baking dish with non-stick spray.
02 -
Place chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and set aside.
03 -
Combine soy sauce, 133 millilitres water, brown sugar, rice vinegar, grated garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
04 -
In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch with remaining 17 millilitres water until smooth.
05 -
Gradually whisk cornstarch slurry into boiling sauce. Continue whisking and cook for 30 to 45 seconds, until sauce thickens and develops a glossy consistency. Remove from heat.

Pour 240 millilitres of the teriyaki sauce over chicken breasts in the baking dish. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 74°C.

Remove baking dish from oven and discard foil. Carefully shred chicken directly in the dish using two forks.
