Ingredients
For the sauce:
- 3/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tbsp oyster or hoisin sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- pinch red pepper flakes
Corn starch mixture
- 2 tbsp corn starch
- 2 tbsp cold water
Chicken, veggies, and rice
- 2 cups favorite chopped veggies such as broccoli, thin sliced carrots, bell peppers
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast or thighs cut in 1-inch cubes
- 3 cups white or brown rice see recipe notes for additional options
Garnish:
- sliced green onions
- toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
Heat the oven to 350℉ and spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a small sauce pan combine all the sauce ingredients except the 2 tablespoons of corn starch and 2 tablespoon of water. Put the lid on and bring to a medium boil. While that is coming to a boil, mix the corn starch and 2 tablespoons of water together until combined. Once mixture is boiling remove the lid and allow to boil for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the corn starch mixture. Whisk constantly until sauce is thickened and it coats the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- In prepared baking dish add chicken in a single layer then top with veggies. No need to stir. Pour about 1/2 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 al dente. See notes for softer veggies.
- Once the cooking time is up remove from the oven and add rice and additional sauce. Toss to combine then place back in the oven uncovered for another 10-minutes. Top with green onion slices and toasted sesame seeds.
Notes
Tips:
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!
