Chicken Teriyaki

Let it be known that I am a quitter.  And I'm kind of proud of it. 😅  In the world of me - being a quitter means making a conscious effort to get rid of the things in my life that aren't helpful or enriching.  And every time I quit something, it frees up more time to add something new into my life.  

Allow me to explain.  Like you, I only get 24 hours in a day and when I was spending an hour of that time catching up on my social media accounts in the morning, I had less time to do what I actually enjoyed doing when I first woke up - which is working out.  Less time on Facebook means more time to walk the neighborhood with friends.🚶🏻‍♀️ And let's be honest - the time I spend exercising with friends is always going to be more gratifying than time that is spent scrolling on my phone.  Sooo, I quit checking my social media accounts in the morning and replaced that time with something that fills my soul - exercising with supportive and amazing friends.

I quit things to make room (and time) for other things in my life, but I also quit  things when I find a better way of doing them.  Let's just say that learning how to use the grocery store apps has been a real game changer for a girl who used to spend hours, driving from store to store - looking for specific ingredients.  

The same principle applies to recipes.  I've quit making plenty of recipes that I've deemed unacceptable.  I've also replaced a lot of recipes with new and improved versions.  Such was the case with this Chicken Teriyaki.    A bigger, better recipe came along and I quit making my old chicken teriyaki recipe immediately.  😅 Maybe it's time for you to be a quitter too.  😬

I'm willing to bet that you can put this one pan chicken teriyaki dish together quicker than you can get a door dash order delivered from your favorite Asian restaurant.  I'm also willing to bet that you are going to love my homemade version of chicken teriyaki even better.  😋  Enjoy!

Ciao!
