This teriyaki chicken casserole nails every one the above, and it landed me extra time with a friend. KEEPER.
About This Teriyaki Chicken Casserole
A few months ago, I discovered the joys of homemade teriyaki sauce. Unlike most pre-made teriyaki sauces that are loaded with excesses sugars and fillers, the one I used to make this casserole is made of simple ingredients, mostly sweetened naturally with honey, and comes together in fewer than five minutes. Once the teriyaki sauce is ready, the rest of the teriyaki chicken casserole nearly cooks itself. The chicken and teriyaki sauce bake together in the casserole dish until the chicken is fall-apart tender and the sauce is thick, sticky, and the sort of thing I frequently burn my tongue tasting right out of the oven.
From there, the veggies and rice are stirred right into the casserole dish with the chicken (no separate bowl required). The dish is returned to the oven for a few minutes to heat it through, whatever teriyaki sauce you didn’t already devour gets poured over the top for good measure. Stay for dinner?
