Teriyaki Chicken

This dish is quick and delicious, great for a busy week-night meal. The sauce is that perfect blend of sticky and sweet that you find at your local take-out place. You could use boneless skinless chicken breasts and experiment with other veggies. Personally I like the flavor that the thighs add.

1/4 cup soy sauce

1 cup water

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
