Every now and then, I will take the different left overs in my fridge and combine a few of them to make a whole brand-new dish. This happened a few weeks ago, and Oh My Gosh! I keep making it over and over again because it was so flippin' good!
So I thought I'd share.
The best thing about this recipe is that there are not any measured out portions; you use what you have. If you have more chicken than broccoli, you'll have more chicken than broccoli. If you have a lot of broccoli and only and ounce or two of chicken, no worries, it's great both ways!
So, without further ado, here it is!
Teriyaki Broccoli
Chicken
Leftover Chicken, Shredded
Broccoli (Left over or fresh, cooked to the desired
tenderness, raw works well too if you like it that way)
Olive or Canola Oil
Teriyaki Sauce or Marinade
Onion Powder
Garlic Powder
Ground Ginger
Salt Pepper
In a frying pan or skillet, pour enough oil to coat the
bottom. Turn unit on medium.
Place desired amount of chicken in skillet, and sprinkle
even amounts of Garlic Powder, Onion Powder and Ground Ginger over the top.
Stir chicken and seasonings a few times.
Add in the amount of Broccoli you wish to use, covering the
chicken. Sprinkle the Broccoli with Salt and Pepper to taste. Stir Broccoli and
Chicken together until mixed.
Add Teriyaki Sauce to taste (I usually use about 1 ½ tsp.
for every 2 cups of Broccoli, but you can use more or less depending on what
you like)
Heat through stirring frequently, then serve.
That sounds and looks good! Also as a suggestion you can also add some orange marmalade or apricot pineapple preserves if you have on hand and it gives it a nice sweetness with a citrus taste. I 've used all sorts of jellies inside along with the teriyaki sauce and adds just enough flavor to make it a little different. Red pepper flakes also add some heat if you like spicy!
ReplyDeletemmm. Sound good! I'll have to try that!
