Teriyaki Chicken and Garlic Noodles

I think you've probably figured out that I really like teriyaki. I do. Chinese and Japanese foods are some of my favorites, and so far, teriyaki is the one I can produce best at home. I tried a new teriyaki recipe recently, but I have to say - I didn't care for the flavor of the teriyaki sauce. I much prefer the sauce that I make with my beef teriyaki recipe. I did, however, really like the cooking method, so I may very well try this again with my teriyaki sauce recipe.

As for the noodles, they were quite tasty, but wow, the recipe is WAY too big!! I have enough leftovers to feed us for a week practically!

Teriyaki Chicken
2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp water
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground pepper

1. Preheat oven to 425.
2. Line a 9x13 pan with foil and add chicken.
3. In a small saucepan, whisk cornstarch and water together until smooth. Add the rest of the ingredients for sauce and whisk until combined, then simmer until thickened. Make sure to stir frequently to avoid the sauce burning.
4. Once the sauce has thickened, pour over the chicken and mix with rubber spatula to coat well. Bake for 20-25 minutes.

Garlic Noodles
