Favorite recipes from my kitchen to yours......check back....many more to come!!
Here is one of our favorite, BBQ, summer meals!!
Teriyaki Chicken and Glop
( I know, not too appetizing calling it Glop but you will love it!)
chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
teriyaki baste and glaze...Kikkoman or any THICK glaze
hamburger buns
Glop:
tomatoes
green onions
mushrooms
chopped black olives
Wishbone Italian Salad Dressing..not low fat, or low oil!
Marinate boneless, skinless chicken breasts in Kikkoman Teriyaki Baste and Glaze. (For 8 breasts I usually use 1 1/2-2 bottles).
I marinate for at least 8 hrs...overnight is best and be sure the chicken is covered in glaze!!
Chop tomatoes, green onions, mushrooms and olives and combine in a large bowl. Chop small because this is supposed to be eaten as a sandwich. The amount of each depends on the number of people you are serving. You don't want to run out of the glop mixture and it keeps for a few days for left-overs!! **I do not like olives so I serve them separately for those who do! Also, buy canned chopped olives and pre-chopped mushrooms to save time!
When you have enough veggies chopped, pour Italian dressing over and stir; cover and refrigerate until serving.
BBQ the chicken breasts; grill the buns if you like, too. One serving is: chicken breast on bun, cover with glop mixture, and either eat open-faced with a fork or cover with top bun and eat as a sandwich...with glop running down both elbows!!
**My DH likes a little mayo spread on both halves of the bun before the chicken and glop go on...good but not necessary!
A yummy recipe for Holiday brunch, or anytime of year!
