Chicken Breasts in Lime Teriyaki

Growing up I never would have even tasted the ingredients below.  It's funny how your taste changes so dramatically.  I absolutely love ingredients like these now and I love trying new recipes.  I love experimenting and trying to find new ways to cook chicken and salmon especially.  I think I could eat salmon every day!

Here's a recipe for chicken that I tried and found to be delicious.  

1/2 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup dry sherry (I did not have this on hand so I used chicken stock)

1 shallot or green onion, white and green parts, minced

Grated zest of 1 lime

3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice

2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon pepper

4 chicken breast halves (about 2 pounds)  (I used boneless chicken breasts)

In medium baking dish, combine all ingredients except chicken.  Add chicken, cover, and refrigerate 3 to 4 hours, turning chicken occasionally.

I used a grill pan to cook the chicken.  You can serve this with rice and a side dish of steamed broccoli.
