Prepare the Chicken
Rinse the chicken breast under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Optionally, you can pound the chicken to an even thickness for uniform cooking.

Thicken the Sauce
In a separate small bowl, mix cornstarch with water until smooth. Add this mixture to the sauce while whisking continuously. This will help thicken the teriyaki sauce.
