Oven-Broiled Teriyaki Chicken

January 25, 2020 Leave a Comment

Here’s how to make the easiest Teriyaki Chicken recipe. I know there are a plethora of recipes tagged as such, I myself have a few versions, but this one here – this is the best one. The homemade sauce is packed with flavor and the method of broiling the sauce-covered chicken makes it easy.

It’s simple, straight to the point, and no-fuss. It’s also one I lifted from Naomi. That’s what happens when there are two cooks and two food bloggers in one home. Lucky for me, I’m married to her so all monies, assets and recipes are shared. That’s how it goes, right?

Let’s make 2020 the year of saying, “Yes!” I’m all about moderation, which means making healthier choices when and where I can.

To start, I’m leaving my phone downstairs overnight so I don’t just wake up and start answering emails from bed. I know it sounds simple, but it’s the small things, right?

Supreme Pizza Tortellini Bake

Pizza Tortellini Bake ~ Think your classic pasta dinner mashed up against everyone’s favorite game day food.

This is so easy to make, I’m thinking the kids got this one next time. But the last time I thought that with another marinara-heavy dish, the kitchen looked like a crime scene and I was scrubbing sauce out of crevices that I didn’t even know existed. The trade-off isn’t quite there yet.

Game Day Platter

Game Day Appetizer Board ~ This is really code for lazy dinner. It’s also a board of appetizers from a few of my favorite places, because I didn’t feel like cooking. I told the kids this is game food plus dinner, so don’t ask me to make you anything later, not even a bowl of cereal.

They agreed. We pulled up the game and kicked back on the light-colored sofa—we skipped the plates for laps, used our forearms to wipe our mouths and the big throw blanket was just one big paper towel for our fingers.

Baked Cinnamon Roll French Toast

Baked Cinnamon Roll French Toast ~ It’s not groundbreaking, but it will definitely have your kids out of bed and to the table faster than most breakfast meals. To make things easier, I bought ready-made cinnamon rolls. You know, the kind that you pop out of a tube and plop down.

I’m all about getting help where I can.
