Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 lb chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces

Sauce

  • 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (use gluten-free if desired)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp freshly grated ginger

Base & Vegetables

  • 2 cups cooked medium-grain white rice
  • 1 cup chopped bell peppers
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Lightly season with salt and pepper. Sauté in a hot pan until golden brown and cooked through to seal in the juices and flavor.
  2. Make the teriyaki sauce: In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, minced garlic, and freshly grated ginger to create the sweet, savory, and aromatic teriyaki glaze.
  3. Cook the vegetables: Sauté the chopped bell peppers and broccoli florets briefly until crisp-tender to preserve their vibrant color and satisfying crunch.
  4. Assemble the casserole: In a baking dish, evenly layer the cooked rice. Spread the sautéed chicken and vegetables over the rice. Pour the teriyaki sauce mixture evenly on top, ensuring all ingredients are coated to lock in moisture and flavor during baking.
  5. Bake and garnish: Bake the casserole in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes until bubbly and heated through. Remove from oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped green onions before serving for a fresh, mild onion finish.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic and ginger for the best flavor depth.
  • Avoid overcooking chicken; sauté only until cooked through to keep it juicy.
  • Medium-grain rice is preferred as it holds sauce without becoming mushy.
  • Undercook vegetables slightly before baking to maintain their texture.
  • Allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes after baking to meld flavors and ease serving.
