    I made this using pre-shredded/torn apart (frozen then thawed) rotisserie chicken (no skin). I made the sauce using 4 TBSP. granulated sugar (could reduce sugar even more or eliminate it or substitute with raw honey...it was plenty sweet). I made this like a stir-fry in the electric skillet. I browned the rotisserie chicken just a bit with EV olive oil cooking spray, added in 1 sliced red bell pepper, 1 bag frozen whole green beans, 1 largely diced yellow onion. Made the sauce on the stove until thick and poured it over the chicken and vegetables. Added 1 cup water. Steamed for about 10 min. covered at 400, stirring occasionally. Uncovered and cooked until most of the water was evaporated. I also cooked 1 small carton of sliced mushrooms on the side with 1/2 TBSP. EV Olive Oil (kids don't like mushrooms). Served all over a small portion of brown rice. Next time I will try it with browned/crisped cubed chicken breast. The stir-fry style allows for a lot of variations with the vegetables. Sauce was good and easy to make. Kid approved!

    Loved this teriyaki sauce, I couldn't even tell it wasn't made with real sugar. I made this for my family and they really love it. I was surprised at how much flavor this had but I should have read the comments before I made it because yes it needs to have a double recipe for the sauce so that you can make a separate batch of it to pour on you chicken, rice, and veggies after it's done like a sauce. Going to keep this recipe as my go to for teriyaki sauce

    I agree with the other review on doubling your sauce. I chose to pair this with honey roasted carrots I found on this site as well. It turned out amazing!

    Very easy to make. Very tasty. Baked a little longer than 30 minutes to finish it but worth the time! Great with broccoli.

    The sauce this recipe makes is so scrumptious, my husband and I were discussing how it would make a great stir fry sauce. The chicken was perfectly cooked. I served it with quinoa and green beans, a very satisfying supper, it tasted like there was a lot of work involved, but no there was not. I would serve this to company and highly recommend and share this recipe.
