I found this recipe on allrecipes.com - looks FTS friendly so I'm sharing. I'm making this as we speak.

Sounds really good, Sarah! :) :) :)

Just be sure to use sugar free teriyaki sauce.
The regular stuff is high carb.

Seal Sama Teriyaki Sauce is the one I use... It's very good! ;)

I used the Seal Sama sugar-free teriyaki sauce.

The dish was good, a nice break from regular chicken. I enjoyed it more after it sat for a while, so next time I would let it marinate in the teriyaki and ranch dressing for a while before it goes into the oven. It's very pretty for serving. I would make it for company.  :)

I don't know why but I can't put teriyaki and ranch together in my brain Sarah! :D

It has a unique flavor! I put the leftover chicken on a salad yesterday and it was wonderful! Next time I make it, I'll put foil over it when it comes out of the oven and let it sit for 15 or 20 minutes before I eat it. The sweet-savory flavors kind of grew on me. The reviewers on allrecipes.com raved. Anyway, it was easy to make and worth the electricity used to cook it.

Hi Sarah! :)

Well... My wife and I enjoyed it and agreed it's a "Do Again" recipe.

The first few bites confused our palates.
But then, it started tasting VERY good!

It was a new experience.
And I suggest that anyone who hasn't, give this recipe a try! ;)

Instead of teriyaki sauce, I thought maybe a smoky-type sauce with some chipolte might be very good too.
I will give a variation on this a shot when I have more time.
