SWEET AND SOUR GRILLED TERIYAKI CHICKEN (FAJITAS)
We never thought to mix teriyaki chicken with sweet and sour vegetables, but we're sure thankful Allison did. The combination is fantastic. The saltiness from the chicken and the slight sweetness from the peppers and onions is an excellent fusion of flavors. This dish would go great served with tortillas or over a bed of Jasmine...
