Teriyaki Chicken

I wanted to make Teriyaki Chicken from scratch.

I love that stuff. But everytime I've ever made it, I've used bottled teriyaki sauce.

After making my own, I'll never use the bottled stuff again!



You'll need a batch of Teriyaki Sauce & Marinade
Chicken Breast Fillets

I always use my FoodSaver marinator for marinating! I LOVE it!


Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes up to a couple of hours.

I cooked the chicken on a grill pan on the stove.


I really need a hood/vent for my stove. It gets wicked smokey in the house when I use the grill pan!

Brush with reserved marinade. (not marinade that had raw chicken in it)



I fillet the breasts so they're pretty thin and cook pretty quickly.



That's it!!


Serve it with some Fried Rice and steamed Sugar Snap Peas and it's dinner time!!
