Naptime Notes

Naptime Recipe Serving ideas

This recipe is delicious and flexible. Feel free to add any other ingredients you would like, there are many variations that would be delicious. I love that this doesn’t require mayonnaise, it makes it easier to transport and I never worry about it getting rancid.

Naptime Stopwatch

The preparation time for this takes about 1 hour from the time the chicken goes in the oven. It is a great use of time during naptime, you’ll have lunch or dinner for several days!

My daughter came around to the teriyaki flavor after I separated out the green onions. Everyone on our picnic loved it.
