Teriyaki Marinade Grilled Chicken Dairy-Free

Plain old chicken breasts, dull and boring.

But take a little time to flavor with marinade...

that's an easy, easy way to take chicken up to a whole new level. 

Yes, that means thawing meat and preparing a day ahead. 

It's worth it, though. Just measure, stir, and dump. You got this!

Teriyaki chicken marinade, at our house, is definitely a favorite.  

Even picky kids love it.

Grill teriyaki marinade chicken breasts, complete with grill marks. 

Just like the restaurants. 

Grilled teriyaki chicken stands as the star on a plate of quinoa and roasted brussel sprouts.

Or instead, create delicious teriyaki chicken sandwiches on dairy-free buns. 

Butter the inside of the buns with dairy-free butter and grill those nice and toasty, too.

Full of flavor! 

We love lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise on our teriyaki chicken sandwiches....

with a side of fries and fruit. Better than the drive-thru. 

Even though remembering to thaw and marinade a day before...

and getting out the grill may be a little work...

this marinade is just made with 6 basic pantry ingredients. 

So we've got you covered there! 

See the marinade recipe below.
