Notes

Carbs per serving: 1-2g (depending on brands of sauce and dressing)
If you'd like to make your own teriyaki sauce, I recommend the following recipes:
Here's the steps to make ahead and freeze:
  1. Follow the steps in the recipe card, then let the chicken cool off completely.
  2. Keep the chicken in a freezer-safe container that seals airtight. The chicken should be stored in a single layer.
  3. Store it in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  4. When you are ready to reheat it, let it thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Then, bake it at 325 degrees F for about 30 minutes.
I prefer to bake the chicken in a disposable aluminum pan that comes with a freezer-safe lid.
