Sounds Good #8 Vegetable Teriyaki Chicken with Peanuts



This is my first attempt at making anything Asian and it turned out decent. The recipe comes from a user website called www.allrecipes.com. Search: Baked Teriyaki Chicken. This is great website and full of info. Several recipes I've tried in the past to vary everyday dishes I've gotten the recipes from other users on this website. 

Ingredients:

1 T Corn Starch
1 T Cold Water
1/4 C Brown sugar
1/4 C White sugar
1/2 C Soy sauce
1/4 Apple Cider Vinegar
1 clove of minced garlic
1/2 t ground ginger
1/4 t black pepper
4 Chicken breasts


Aluminum foil an 8X8 pan and place the raw breasts cleaned in the pan. Preheat your oven to 400. Mix all the ingredients except the corn starch and water in a pan on a medium heat. Mix the corn starch and water in a separate bowl until looks like sauce consistency. Should NOT be lumpy or pasty. If it is add small amounts of water until thins. After mixture in sauce pan has simmered add the corn starch mixture (slurry) into teriyaki sauce and simmer some more until thickens. Pour hot sauce over raw chicken, foil the top of the pan, and place in the oven for 25 minutes. 

If you want to vary or add to this recipe, I suggest using carrots thinly sliced into circles, small cut broccoli florets, and peanuts. I added these things after the chicken was cooked and cooked them with a little bit of water, butter, and hot teriyaki sauce so they were cooked but still had a small amount of crunch texture to them. 

ENJOY!
