 Ingredients

For the Casserole

  • 1½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 cups cooked white or brown rice
  • 3 cups mixed stir-fry vegetables
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Teriyaki Sauce

  • ¾ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons cold water

 Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a saucepan, combine the soy sauce, water, brown sugar, honey, garlic, and ginger. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water until smooth. Slowly whisk it into the sauce and cook for a few minutes until the sauce thickens.
  4. Add the chicken to the prepared baking dish and pour about half of the teriyaki sauce over the chicken. Toss to coat.
  5. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.
  6. Remove the dish from the oven and carefully shred or stir the chicken.
  7. Add the cooked rice, broccoli, bell pepper, and mixed stir-fry vegetables. Pour the remaining teriyaki sauce over everything and mix well.
  8. Return the casserole to the oven and bake for another 10–15 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and everything is hot.
  9. Remove from the oven and garnish with sliced green onions.
