Teriyaki Chicken

This is a really easy and fast teriyaki chicken recipe. Can't remember where I got it. You can use pretty much any kind of chicken you want but I generally use chopped up chicken breasts.

2-3 chicken breasts, cut up
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp garlic powder


Mix the sauce and pour it over the chicken. The original recipe says to bake it in the oven for an hour but after a number of attempts, it always boiled over and made a mess of my oven. So now I just bring it all to a boil on the stovetop and let it simmer covered until the chicken is done, about 30 minutes. It also works really well in the slow cooker. For time saving during prep, you can put whole chicken breasts in the slow cooker with the sauce and just shred the chicken once it's cooked. Serve over rice!
