Grilled Chicken Teriyaki Recipe
You must try out this super simple grilled chicken teriyaki “cook-once-eat-twice” meal ~ it is so incredibly yummy and so simple to make!
This week as I was keeping up with our Back To School Cooking Challenge (which was the first week after sending my sweet Caroline off to college!), I was determined to keep dinnertime a priority around here for my husband and youngest daughter Reagan.
(At that point the poor girl had 4 more years hanging out with her parents ~ we still had to make dinner time happy each night!)
TIP: You can also find this recipe in Week 1 of our Summer Menu Planning Made Easy Set!
So we grilled this chicken on Thursday and served it with steamed veggies and rice, then made up a salad using the leftover chicken on Friday night.
IT WAS A-H-M-A-ZING.
I don’t know what it is about a fresh salad, but making it up with just the right ingredients always turns it into one of my favorite meals.
And if you have someone at home who won’t just devour each chicken bite? Add some frozen egg rolls or even crab Rangoon to round out your meal.
Success.
Scroll down for the grilled chicken recipe and the salad suggestions, and enjoy the happiest (easy!) meal. I know your family will love this one and it’s easy peasy ~ enjoy!
