5. Next , pour the teriyaki sauce that was used to marinate the chicken into the skillet. Cover the skillet with a lid and steam cook the chicken on low heat until done,and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit and juices run clear.
6. Remove the lid and simmer until the sauce thickens slightly. There is no need to add potato starch or corn starch to thicken the sauce. Remove the pan from the heat.
