Equipment

Ingredients

1 pound boneless chicken tenderloins, thighs, or chicken breasts
1/2 cup water
3/4 low sodium soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon garlic
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 bag stir fry vegetables 12 ounce bag
3 cups cooked rice quinoa, or cauliflower rice
2 tablespoons cornstarch _ 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, and then grease a 9x13 casserole dish and set aside.
In a pan on the stove add your 1/2 cup water, soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, garlic and cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally. You want the sauce to come to a boil.
Once it boils cook for another minute, stirring often. In a small bowl add the cornstarch and the 2 tablespoons of cold water, and stir into the teriyaki sauce. This will thicken the sauce. When done remove from heat.
Place your chicken in the baking dish in a single layer, and then pour the sauce over the chicken.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the chicken reaches 165 degrees internal temperature. Depending on the thickness of your chicken the COOK TIME WILL VARY.
While the chicken is cooking, cook your rice as directed on the package. Or quinoa, or whatever you use for the filler.
Take your fresh stir fry veggies and saute in a skillet as directed on package to help soften. If they are frozen, then place in a colander and run cold water over it to remove the ice.
Once the chicken is done, remove from the oven, shred the meat, and place back in casserole pan. Then toss in the veggies, and the rice. Stir well to coat and mix evenly.
Bake for another 15 minutes and then remove from the oven and serve up this teriyaki chicken casserole!

Notes

Vegetables - I found a bag of stir fry vegetables in the produce section at our grocery store. But you are welcome to use frozen veggies. Or if you don't want a bag of stir fry, then pick and choose what veggies to add to the mixture.

Chicken - Boneless chicken is what you need, just trim away skin or fat off any cut of chicken. Thighs, breasts, tenderloins, etc.

Sauce - So I made a homemade teriyaki sauce but you can buy your favorite bottle to speed up prep.
