Easy grilled chicken recipe with Campbell’s grill sauce. Try them with teriyaki, lemon pepper , or cheddar applewood bacon sauce.
I know I am starting to sound like a broken record, but lately I feel like there is less and less time in a day to do all the things I need to do as a mom. Do you feel the same way? Sometimes after the kids’ karate lesson ends at 5:45 pm, I just haven’t gotten around to preparing dinner.
Why does that happen? After picking up the children from school, they want me to prepare snacks or smoothies. Then it’s schoolwork time, helping them with homework and projects. After schoolwork is complete, I insist on teaching them Japanese every day. I find that when I only teach them Japanese on weekends they don’t retain as much. On the days when we have piano lessons and swim lessons, there is even less time I can get to the kitchen. I applaud all the busy parents out there who manage to juggle their children’s activities and prepare home cooked meals each day.
The good thing is sometimes I do delegate some cooking duties to Mr. JOC: marinating the meat during the day so when he gets home from work he can grill, or asking him to pick up ingredients on his way home for a quick meal, like my many donburi recipes. Unfortunately there are more times than I could count when the meat’s not defrosted or there just isn’t enough time. I think as parents, we naturally want our children to enjoy home cooked meals and lately I discovered a quick way to make them with Campbell’s Grill Sauces. They are super easy to use and my family enjoys them, especially the Grilled Teriyaki Chicken one! The best part is, I can ask Mr. JOC to prepare and cook the entire meal from start to finish. This gives me a bit more time to help the children with their work, read to them, or work on my blog. Let me show you how easy it is to prepare: First, preheat a grill on medium high & oil the grates.
How to Prepare Grilled Chicken with Teriyaki Sauce (Step-by-Step Instructions)
Open your favorite Campbell’s Grill Sauce and heat over low heat in a sauce pan.
Butterfly the chicken breast. Butterflying is a really useful technique to create a uniform thickness throughout a piece of meat, so that it will cook more quickly and evenly. Turn the breast over and with the edge of a knife parallel to the cutting board, cut the length of the side of the breast. Carefully slice the breast in half width-wise almost to the other edge. Keep the edge intact and open the breast along the fold.
Season both sides of chicken breast with salt and pepper & steam some of your favorite veggies in a pot.
Grill breast for about 4 min, then rotate them 90° and grill for another 4 min. This will create the nice crisscross shape. Flip the chicken breast over and do the same.
Place the chicken on your choice of carb and pour the sauce over. Garnish with scallion and sesame seeds.
Now isn’t that surprisingly simple? 🙂

I marinate meat overnight to save time.
We like to make extra so we can freeze it up and have it for times when we are in a hurry or are not able to do cooking on physically bad days.
I make rice ahead for the week and freeze in meal-sized portions and reheat in the microwave when I need it.
Goodness, that looks so good! I haven’t seen this Campbell’s sauce in our stores yet–or maybe I just haven’t been looking for it. Thanks for the review! I like to do quick stir fry meals. Having the veggies pre cut, and using tofu as a protein helps, too. I commend you for all that you do, and big props to Mr JOC for all his help!

Here are some of my cooking tips-though I have a lot of them-
1. Grate frozen butter straight into pastry dough for fast, even distribution
2..Caramelize onions in half the time by adding a little baking soda.
3. Microwave lemons and limes to get more juice out.
Well look at that glaze, it looks really delicious with that nicely grilled chicken
Hi Nami
Well done on your new design. I love your posts. Your videos are the best, quick, to the point and not too much talking.
I love the wooden handled flatware featured in this recipe. Where do you get them from?
Getting help to put a meal on the table with your busy life is a sensible idea. Especially when the results are so tasty.:)
So simple! Will give that a try. I usually make a batch of teriyaki sauce and keep in the fridge to put on anything…

I like to make stir fries so I can cook lots of veggies at once and even add some rice or noodles.
I prefer making a week’s worth of food on the weekend, and serving it with a simple soup or side dish throughout the week.
I wrap marinated meat in foil, put it in a steaming basket with some vegetables and put the steamer in the rice cooker to cook everything with the rice.
Thank you for sharing your post. I’ve never seen this type of Campbell sauce in Canada… or maybe I am not looking hard enough at the grocery store.
I live with my boyfriend and his friend -so basically 2 grown boys who consumes a lot of food. I always try to make extra so they can take it for lunch the next day. On the days when we don’t have time, we crack open our emergency processed canned foods, which I least like. But from reading other comments, a lot of people freeze their food which is a great idea.
As always, I love your blog.
