I do not recommend using chicken breasts in this recipe. Soy Sauce - I use low sodium soy sauce in all recipes as the sodium in regular soy sauce is just too high and the flavors are too salty in recipe testing. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; brown chicken. Stir in water and reserved marinade. If desired, serve chicken with cooking sauce.
