Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch cubes)
  • 3 cups cooked rice (brown or white)
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup carrots (sliced)
  • 1 red bell pepper (sliced)
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger (grated)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for thicker sauce)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
  • 2 green onions (chopped, optional for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with oil or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Heat over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to blend the flavors.
  3. For a thicker sauce, dissolve cornstarch in 1 tablespoon cold water and stir it into the simmering sauce. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened and the sauce coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. In a large skillet, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add cubed chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
  5. Spread the cooked rice evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating a solid base for the casserole.
  6. Evenly distribute the cooked chicken, broccoli florets, sliced carrots, and red bell pepper over the rice layer, creating a colorful and inviting presentation.
  7. Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce evenly across the entire casserole, ensuring all ingredients are well coated and infused with delicious flavor.
  8. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until vegetables are tender but still vibrant in color.
  9. Remove from oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes. Remove foil and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven, adding a splash of water to keep it moist.
