Thursday Recipe - Teriyaki Chicken

Nope, not a recipe today. Those will be coming. After I figure out my diet. Again. It turns out I'm allergic to tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, and peppers. I'm also reacting to cucumbers, honeydew melons, and cantaloupe. I had no idea how much I relied on tomatoes, peppers, and potatoes in particular. I'm even reacting to chili powder and paprika.

I have to revamp my whole recipe box, especially since I'm supposed to be eating a low-glycemic load diet on top of that.

So, anyone have recipes that don't use tomatoes, potatoes, or peppers of any kind? Ones that aren't cream-based? I would love some more main dishes to try.

Teriyaki Chicken was a hit the other night, but it's high on the sodium.

Time to change up everything again...

Teriyaki Chicken

2 lbs boneless chicken breast, cut into bite-size chunks
1 onion, sliced thin
1/4 c. soy sauce
1/4 c. sugar
2 T. lemon juice
1 t. ground ginger
1/2 t. garlic powder
2 T. sesame seeds

Place chicken in a small roasting pan or casserole. Spread the onions over the top. Mix together the rest of the ingredients. Pour over the chicken.

Bake uncovered at 350° for 30-40 minutes if chicken is thawed, 60-75 minutes if chicken is frozen, until chicken is done.

Serve over rice with green onions as a garnish.

Thursday Recipe - Spicy Teriyaki Tribbles

Whoops. Late to the party today. It's been a long week. Here's a good, easy recipe for all you Star Trek fans out there. Enjoy!

Spicy Teriyaki Tribbles

2-3 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
1/4 c. soy sauce
1/4 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. water
1 T. siracha or tabasco sauce (or leave it out if you want the mild version)
1 t. ground ginger
1 t. garlic powder OR 2-3 large cloves fresh garlic, minced
1/4 c. finely minced onion

Dump the chicken in a large crockpot.

Mix together the soy sauce, brown sugar, water, and siracha. Don't worry if it has lumps, you're mostly trying to spread the heat of the chili sauce out. Stir in the ginger, garlic, and onion. Pour it over the chicken.

Cook on high 3-4 hours or low 6-8 hours until very tender.

Serve with gakh, if you have it, or rice.

If you want to use regular chicken thighs, it's fairly easy to skin and debone them. If deboning scares you, just leave the bone in. Who says tribbles don't have a skeleton?
Peel off the skin and discard. It adds a lot of fat and doesn't cook well in the crockpot.
Slice each thigh lengthwise to get to the bone. Pull out the bone and discard. Remove any lumps of fat and discard. Roll the thigh back into the same approximate shape.
