Teriyaki Chicken

This recipe is amazing! It started off as a non-paleo recipe I saw on Facebook, but with a little tweaking... Yum! It reminds me of the Teriyaki chicken skewers I used to get at our local Chinese restaurant. You could serve this with steamed broccoli and quinoa for a fun spin on Chinese take-out!

Teriyaki Chicken
1 lb. chicken legs (or wings)
salt

1 TBSP olive oil
1 TBSP ketchup
1/4 c coconut aminos 
6 TBSP honey
1-2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 - 1/2 tsp salt 

Place the chicken in an 8"X8" pan, skin side up, and sprinkle with salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the rest of the ingredients and pour the mixture over the chicken. 
Bake at 350 degrees for about an hour, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has caramelized. For best results, open the oven and spoon the sauce over the chicken about every 15 minutes.

Note: We like to make a double batch, pour half over the chicken and put the other half in a sauce pan on the stove and let it reduce until it thickens so we have extra sauce to dip the chicken in. You could also use cut up boneless, skinless chicken thighs and marinade them in the sauce for a few hours. Then saute them (while the marinade is reducing in a sauce pan - don't worry, it will get plenty hot!). When the chicken is done and the sauce has reduced, toss them together in the saute pan for a few minutes to caramelize the sauce a bit.


And the Bible verse of the week!

"When the disciples saw him walking on 
the sea they were terrified. “It is a ghost,” 
they said, and they cried out in fear. 
At once Jesus spoke to them, “Take courage, it is I; 
do not be afraid.” Peter said to him in reply, 
“Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.”
He said, “Come.” Peter got out of the boat 
and began to walk on the water toward Jesus.
But when he saw how strong the wind was he became frightened; and, beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!”
Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand and caught him, 
and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”
Matthew 14:26-31
