Teriyaki Chicken Casserole is a flavorful and wholesome one-dish meal made with juicy chicken, vegetables, rice, and a homemade teriyaki sauce. It’s easy to prepare, great for meal prep, and a healthier take on takeout-inspired comfort food.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken breasts or thighs
  • 3 cups cooked brown or white rice
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup carrots, thinly sliced or shredded
  • 1/2 cup peas or green beans (optional)
  • 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated or ground ginger
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
  • Sliced green onions (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch and water until smooth, then stir into the sauce. Cook, stirring often, until thickened. Remove from heat.
  4. In a large bowl, combine cooked chicken, cooked rice, broccoli, carrots, and peas or green beans (if using).
  5. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the mixture and toss to coat evenly.
  6. Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased 9×13-inch baking dish and spread evenly.
  7. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
  8. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Use tamari for a gluten-free version.
  • Frozen veggies can be used—just thaw and drain well first.
  • Quinoa can be used instead of rice for added protein.
  • Add pineapple for a tropical twist.
  • Great for make-ahead and freezer meals.
