Ingredients
- •Soy Sauce, Low Sodium(60g)
- •Brown sugar(45g)
- •1 Tbsp water ($0.00)
- •Garlic(60g)
- •Ginger, Fresh Root(5g)
- •Vegetable oil(30g)

Instructions
- 1Prepare the marinade first. Stir together the soy sauce, brown sugar, water, garlic, ginger, and 1 Tbsp of the cooking oil in a bowl.
- 2Place the chicken in a shallow bowl or dish, then pour the marinade over top. Turn the chicken a couple of times to make sure it's well coated. Let the chicken marinate for 30 minutes to one day (refrigerated), turning the chicken occasionally as it marinates.
- 3When ready to cook the chicken, heat the remaining 1 Tbsp cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken, discarding the remaining used marinade.
- 4Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through and the liquid in the skillet has reduced to a light coating of glaze on the chicken.
- 5Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
