Expert Tips

  • tip 1
    If fresh pea pods aren't available, use a 6-oz package of frozen snow pea pods, thawed and drained.
  • tip 2
    Fresh chopped garlic in water, available in jars, is a great convenience item to keep on hand. If you don't have fresh garlic, use 1 teaspoon of the jarred chopped garlic instead.
  • tip 3
    Teriyaki is the name of a Japanese dish that marinates meat in a mixture of soy sauce, sugar, ginger and other ingredients before cooking. A purchased teriyaki sauce is used in this recipe and, mixed with orange marmalade, creates a distinctive sauce for the chicken.
