What you’ll love about this Teriyaki Chicken Casserole:

This recipe was an inspiration from Life In The Lofthouse. I’ve been craving Asian flavored recipes the past few weeks and her teriyaki chicken casserole caught my eye. I love making teriyaki chicken and even better when I don’t have to think about the sides to go along with it. This recipe hit on so many levels for me because it incorporated everything I would need for a complete meal- protein, veggies, and a starch. All the ingredients bake in the oven making it super easy at meal time to just add a serving spoon and dish up!

I did make subtle changes to her recipe to fit my own tastes and needs and my family loved the fresh flavors. You really could add any kind of veggie, rice, or grain like quinoa, or even angel hair pasta would be a great addition. It’s a recipe that’s forgiving and customizable and I love that.

Note: Because we use fresh veggies in this recipe and don’t pre-cook them ahead of time, they are crisp tender. If you want them softer, cook them first until al dente, then let them finish cooking per the baking instruction time.

Ingredients:

• Boneless skinless chicken breast or thighs
• Fresh veggies like broccoli, carrots, and bell peppers
• Cooked white or brown rice
• Low sodium soy sauce
• Water
• Oyster or hoisin sauce (optional)
• Brown sugar
• Ground ginger
• Garlic clove
• Red pepper flakes
• Corn starch
• Green onion for topping
• Toasted sesame seeds for topping

Short cuts:

• Veggies– To make this meal even faster and easier a frozen bag of your favorite veggies can be swapped out for fresh. Although, I love the flavor and texture of fresh vegetables, sometimes we need a little help on those busy nights.
• Rice or grains- If you want to skip cooking the rice or don’t have any cooked on hand, you can purchase the premade cooked rice packets like Uncle Bens at the grocery store. One less step, and so easy to just open the bag and toss in the baking dish with the chicken and veggies.
• Teriyaki sauce– The sauce is super easy to make but you could skip this step and just buy your favorite brand of teriyaki sauce at the grocery store. It will still be delicious and less work for you!

Step by Step Instructions:

Step 1. Heat oven to 350℉ and prepare sauce. Combine soy sauce, water oyster sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a small sauce pan. Bring to a boil then add in cornstarch water mixture to thicken the sauce. Continue to cook until thickened and sauce coats the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Step 2. Place chicken in an even layer in a baking dish coated with non-stick cooking spray. Add the veggies over the chicken. No need to stir. Pour about 1/2 of the sauce over the chicken and veggies. Again, no need to stir. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 30-40 minutes or until veggies are almost tender.

Step 3. Once the baking time is up, remove the foil and stir in the rice and remaining sauce. Place the dish back in the oven uncovered for another 10 minutes. Garnish with green onion slices and toasted sesame seeds.
