10.5 oz. froz. Gardein Teriyaki Chick’n Strips – don’t use teriyaki sauce packet (reserve for other use)

2 T. extra virgin olive oil

salt

In large skillet, over medium heat, melt oil. Add frozen chick’n strips, a little salt, then saute till tender and charred as desired.

Add sauce all at once. Cover immediately to trap steam. Reduce heat to low.

After 1 minute remove cover and continue to cook to reduce liquid to desired thickness. I like mine somewhat thin.

Plate and serve immediately.

Notes:  Serve alone or with mashed potatoes made with garlic and veg sour cream (or rice) along with a side dish veggie or salad.

Don’t stir after adding sauce all at once. Add the sauce and cover immediately. If you stir the sauce, you’ll lose the steam.
