Teriyaki Chicken Recipe

It has just the right amount of sweetness that my non-sweet-meat-loving husband enjoyed it. He doesn't think sweet and meat go together. Who says that? I can't even. So when I made this dish, I was hesitant to let my husband eat it.

I was waiting for the "it's too sweet" comment. But it never came. Cue Twilight Zone music. Because there's brown sugar in this and my man had nothing to say about that. SCORE. Try this Teriyaki Chicken out and wow the crowd.
