Teriyaki Sauce and Marinade for Chicken

This marinade is great for grilled chicken and then topped with the pineapple salsa. It makes a great lunch or light dinner, just serve with rice and some cooked Chinese vegetables. This also makes great Asian chicken salad with the leftovers!

Teriyaki Sauce and Marinade

1/4 c low sodium soy sauce
1/2 c water
1 1/2 Tbsp brown sugar
2 packets sweet & low
1 Tbsp honey
1 1/2 tsp minced garlic
1/4 tsp ground ginger

Mix all together and add 3/4 of this to a zip-lock baggie with your boneless, skinless, chicken thighs. Save the rest of the marinade for brushing on your chicken when grilling. Let this sit for at least 1/2 hour. Grill chicken, basting often with remaining marinade, until cooked. Serve with rice and stir fried vegetables.
