    Grilled teriyaki chicken with a delicious teriyaki sauce, a super healthy and easy to make recipe. Serve it with rice or noodles for a proper Asian feast.

    Grilled teriyaki chicken is my all-time favourite food. I cannot have enough of it,  it i super flavourful, easy to make and so healthy. The best of the Asian cuisine.

    Every time I go to an Asian restaurant, I know exactly what I am going to have. There is something about this sauce that simply gives even the most boring and plain food a heavenly taste.

    So I decided to cook it myself and I was so surprised how simple it is. Of course, there will be different ways of cooking it, but my recipe is super quick and failproof.

    The same way the chicken breast was cooked applies to any other meat, fish or vegetables. So if you fancy something else, make the sauce using my recipe and replace the chicken.

    I love having it either with rice or noodles, but anything else goes as well, couscous, bulgur wheat, quinoa, mashed potatoes and so on. Also, you can add vegetables as well to it to make is a super meal.

    Of course, you can choose a different cooking way, but I find grilling the very best. One might think that summer time is the grilling season, but, if you have a grill pan, then any season can be grilling season.

    Plus, it is a lot quicker and tastier than any other way. The chicken stays juicy and moist. I know, the kitchen might be all smokey and the smell of chicken will probably be felt all over the town, but hey ho.

    If you choose to use chicken thighs or legs, you can cook them the exact same way, the cooking time will be slightly longer though. I usually go for chicken breast as it is way easier to get the other fussy pots to eat as well.

    And there you have it, a recipe that makes a perfect work lunch, or light dinner. Any take-away will be put to shame with this super easy Japanese dish. Do give it a try!
