#3891 - Teriyaki Chicken

(by Shirley McNevich)

2 TBSP cornstarch
2 TBSP cold water
1 cup white sugar
1 cup low sodium soy sauce (if you use regular soy sauce, it may taste too salty)
1/2 cup cider vinegar
2 minced garlic cloves
1 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. fresh ground black pepper
4-6 boneless/skinless chicken breasts

In a saucepan over low heat add cornstarch, cold water, white sugar, low sodium soy sauce, cider vinegar, minced garlic, ground ginger and fresh ground black pepper--simmer/stir until mixture thickens. Pour some of the sauce into a greased 9 x 13 glass baking dish, then place the chicken breasts into the sauce. Pour remaining sauce over the tops of the chicken breasts. Cover the dish with foil. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes, remove from oven, remove the foil, flip the chicken breasts, return the dish to the oven and bake UNcovered 30 minutes longer or until chicken is done.
