Recipe Background

Thanks go to Debbie from Kids Meal Ideas for this recipe for Lemon Teriyaki Chicken. She has a great site that highlights foods that are easy and tasty enough for kids to help make and eat, and this recipe fits the bill. When I prepared this dish, I marinated the chicken in the morning and baked it when I came home at night. I thought it was really easy and my family thought it was moist and delicious. Debbie also indicates you can marinate and freeze the uncooked chicken to be baked at another time.

Lemon Teriyaki Chicken

½ Cup lemon juice(about 2 lemons)
½ Cup soy sauce
¼ Cup granulated sugar
3 Tablespoons brown sugar
2 Tablespoons water
2 garlic cloves chopped
½ teaspoon freshly grated ginger root
6 boneless skinless chicken breasts (or up to 3 pounds)

Add the first 7 ingredients together in zip style bag and mix together. Add chicken and seal the bag well. Place the bag in a bowl or baking dish and refrigerate at least 6 hours. When ready to bake, pour the chicken and all of the marinade into an ungreased casserole dish and bake in an oven preheated to 350'F for approximately 45 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165'F.
