Chicken Teriyaki

Some people in life are naturally gifted in organizational management (household management to be exact) and planning ahead. You know the ones who can multi-task gazillion things at once in a calm orderly fashion without breaking a sweat. These very same people are dedicated meal planners and find multiple crafting projects on Pinterest with the intent of actually doing these projects versus just daydreaming about them. They will actually go to the store and buy everything they need, come home, and prep each item before they ever get started. I, however, am not one of these people.

A few months ago I dabbled in meal planning. I lasted all of 3 days before returning to my normal routine of cooking on the fly by the pleat of my apron. That's a lie. I don't use aprons but you get the jest of it. I'll be the first to admit meal planning sounds wonderful in theory, but in reality, it does not work well with my schedule and preferred way of doing things... which means not being tethered down to a schedule.

However, in those three days, I did have a light-bulb moment takeaway. If you can't prep a week's meal in advance, how about one day? Seriously. I'm now taking the one-day-at-time approach to meals because if I can get one meal prepped the night before and find success the next day, the odds are in my favor I will try it again and continue to find success one day at a time. For the record, I am on Day 5 using my one-day-at-a-time method!

Today I am sharing with you my easy Chicken Teriyaki Thighs recipe. All you do is quickly prepare the marinade then marinate the chicken thighs overnight so all you have to do is cook them when dinner rolls around the next day. Top the chicken over some rice and steamed vegetables and you have yourself a delicious meal. Enjoy!
