Teriyaki Chicken

Posted on 24. Oct, 2011 by Rob Connor in High Protein Meals

There’s no getting away from it, chicken is probably the #1 source of protein for bodybuilders. It’s versatile, relatively cheap and with a little imagination & effort, you can use chicken in just about any recipe.

So here’s another classic chicken recipe, packed with protein & carbs. You can probably tell I’m bulking at the moment so the last 3-4 recipes have all been loaded with carbs. I’ll be back cutting soon so I’ll be posting more low carb recipes.

In the meantime, enjoy this delicious loaded chicken recipe!

Ingredients:

• 4 skinless/boneless chicken breasts

1. Cut chicken breasts into ¼ “ pieces and set them aside
2. In a small mixing bowl, combine teriyaki sauce, orange juice, cornstarch and ginger, and set aside.
