A Savory Twist on a Chicken Dish

Boy oh Boy do I have an amazing dish for you to try. I'm so excited to share this recipe with you all.
This is a savory dinner that is really light in carbs and full in flavor.

Teryaki Chicken with Steamed Broccoli

Prep:
3 large boneless/skinless chicken breasts cut into thick chunks
Light Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Fresh Ginger
Large Onion
Sherreded Carrots
The marinade:
1/2 cup of  Kikkoman brand teryaki sauce
1 1/2 tsp of caynne pepper
1 tsp of white pepper
2 tsp of white granulated sugar
l juice of a tangerine
2 tsps of garlic powder
1/2 tsp of black pepper
Wisk together
Directions:
Pour the marinade into a zip lock bag and add the chunks of chicken. Make sure that the chicken is fully and evenly coated. Refidgerate the bag of chicken for 4 hours periodically shaking the bag to recoat the chicken. At the 4 hour mark, put your non-stick skillet on a low heat and coat it with light extra virgin olive oil. While waiting for the oil to heat up, begin to take out the chicken and pat off any extra marinade with a paper towel. Place the chicken into the skillet and let it cook. When the chicken is cooked through, place them on a plate. Roughly chop 1 large onion and saute it in the pan. Add the shredded carrots, and grate a little fresh ginger right over the top. Once the onions and shredded carrots become semi-translusent add the chicken back in the pan an cover over low heat.

Perfect Partner:
Then all you do is steam fresh broccoli  and plate.

Eat and Enjoy!!
