  • 1.5 cups uncooked long-grain white rice rinsed well
  • 2.5 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated (or 1/2 tsp ground ginger)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables peas, carrots, corn
Garnish (Optional)

  • Sesame seeds

Equipment

  • Oven
  • 9x13-inch baking dish
  • Medium bowl
  • Whisk
  • Aluminum foil
  • Fork

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Assemble
  1. Spread the rinsed rice evenly in the baking dish, then scatter the cut chicken pieces over the rice.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the broth, teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil.
  3. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and rice, gently stirring to ensure the rice is submerged, then sprinkle the frozen mixed vegetables over the top.
Bake
  1. Tightly cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  2. Remove the foil, gently stir, and continue to bake uncovered for another 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender, liquid is absorbed, and chicken is cooked through.
  3. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes, covered.
Serve
  1. Fluff with a fork, garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, and serve hot.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can marinate the chicken in a small amount of teriyaki sauce for 15-30 minutes before adding it to the dish. Adjust the amount of teriyaki and soy sauce to your taste preferences. If you prefer a bit of spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce mixture.
