Receta Chicken Teriyaki – Low Calorie
I used to think that, Japanese and Chinese food are the same, with a slight difference, but when you start cooking dishes from both cuisines, you find that they are quite different.
Chicken thighs are what usually used to make Chicken Teriyaki, but I’m using chicken breast in this recipe. There is no harm in using chicken thighs in fact the calorie count is not that different between the breast and thigh. The reason why I’m using breast is to teach those who rather use chicken breast, how to cook it while keeping the breast tender and juicy from the inside. I have changed the recipe a bit since I and my family do not consume alcohol. However, I promise you will not miss much.
