Laura's Teriyaki Chicken

Laura's Teriyaki Chicken

My good friend Laura has made this for years and our group of friends has fought for the right to the recipe, she finally wrote it down for me!

1 1/2 cups soy sauce
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1/4 cup ginger
1/4 cup soda or water
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1 garlic clove minced
Boneless skinless chicken thighs-fat removed.

Put into dish or ziplock bag. Marinate a couple of hours or put into the freezer if not using right away. Best cooked on the grill, but can also cook using a broiler pan in oven, just watch it closely.

My neighbor brought these over one evening and I selfishly snacked away on them and begged for the recipe. They are GREAT for a quick snack out the door for the kids. 

1 cup whole oats
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup honey {using less makes them less sticky to roll and a better flavor}
1 cup coconut flakes
1/2 cup ground flaxseed
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
1 tsp vanilla

Mix together thoroughly & roll into balls. Let chill for 30 minutes before eating. You can store them covered in the fridge. I would say a week, but they don't last that long!
