Ingredients
  

  • Boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • Cooked white rice
  • Broccoli florets
  • Carrots thinly sliced
  • Red bell pepper chopped
  • Frozen peas
  • Soy sauce
  • Honey
  • Rice vinegar
  • Garlic cloves minced
  • Fresh ginger grated
  • Cornstarch
  • Water
  • Sesame oil
  • Green onions sliced
  • Sesame seeds

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Teriyaki Sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Bring to a simmer. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry, then add to the saucepan. Stir until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add diced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove from heat.
  3. Blanch the Vegetables: In a pot of boiling water, briefly cook broccoli florets, sliced carrots, and chopped red bell pepper until tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
  4. Assemble the Casserole: In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked rice, sautéed chicken, blanched vegetables, and frozen peas. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Bake: Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, until heated through and slightly golden on top.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • Substitute brown rice for a healthier option (adjust cooking time accordingly).
  • If you prefer extra saucy casserole, double the teriyaki sauce.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Serve with a side salad, egg rolls, or a drizzle of sriracha for added flavor.
