Tender Teriyaki Chicken



1/2 c. Teriyaki sauce

dash ginger

1 can pineapple with juice

8-10 small pieces boneless skinless chicken (You can use less if you have a small family)



1. Add the teriyaki sauce, ginger and pineapple to a frying pan.





2. Then add water until your pan is half full.  Turn on high heat.



3. Pound your chicken pieces flat with a meat mallet or a rolling pin.  This makes the chicken more tender and also makes the meat thinner so it cooks more quickly.  An added bonus is that the flavor of the teriyaki will be touching more surface area of the chicken pieces.



4. Add chicken to your frying pan of liquid, which should now be steaming.  Let boil at high heat for ten minutes.





5. Turn chicken pieces over and allow to cook until the liquid is boiled off.  If the liquid boils off before the chicken is done, add a bit more water.





By now the flavor will  be completely coating the chicken, the chicken will have browned and the whole thing will be so tender and juicy you can hardly believe it.



Serve with hot cooked rice and stir fry veggies for a complete meal.



This cooking method, boiling meat on the stove top instead of frying it in oil or broiling it in the oven, works great for any type of meat and any type of sauce or flavoring.  The meat, even cheap cuts of beef, come out perfectly tender and flavored every time.  Plus it's quick and doesn't require constant tending.
