Teriyaki Chicken

This is one of my children's favorite dinners and usually I make it from scratch. However, the last time Hubby and I perused Costco, I came across teriyaki chicken in the frozen section and thought we'd try it. The consensus was that it was a little on the salty side and not much quicker than making it from scratch. I think I'll just stick to making it myself and freeze any extras for future meals.

Teriyaki Chicken

4-6 boneless, skinless chicken breast, grilled and cut into bite-sized pieces

Sauce:
1 1/4 cups pineapple juice, unsweetened
3/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon ground ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced

Combine all of the sauce ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and cook 1 minute, stirring constantly, until thickened.

To the sauce, add in the grilled chicken. Cook an additional 3 minutes or until chicken is warmed through.

Serve with rice and a green vegetable (we usually have broccoli).

Enjoy!
