Shopping For Chicken & Sauce
When you go to the local market or shopping center, look for boneless skinless chicken breast in the meat section. Also, look for a low-sodium teriyaki sauce which you should find with ease in the seasonings aisle of the store.
If you don’t have any skewers, purchase a package of them as well. They come in metal or bamboo. The bamboo skewers are the least expensive. Buy enough for each person who will be eating the meal.

Directions:
- If your chicken breast is thicker than ½” in size, use a meat mallet to pound down to ½” in thickness. Doing this helps tenderize the meat.

- Take ¼ cup of teriyaki sauce place it into a Ziploc bag along with the chicken.
- Allow the chicken to marinate in the sauce for 1 hour in the refrigerator.
- Cut peppers and onions into 1” chunks and soak them in the remaining ¼ cup of teriyaki sauce using another Ziploc bag.
- Place in refrigerator to marinate for 1 hour.
