Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a casserole dish.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine soy sauce, honey or brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Bring to a gentle simmer.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water. Stir the mixture into the saucepan and cook until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked rice, shredded chicken, broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, and peas.
Pour the warm teriyaki sauce over the mixture and toss until everything is evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish and spread evenly.
Bake for about 20 minutes, or until heated through and vegetables are tender.
Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped scallions before serving, if desired.

Notes

Swap chicken with cooked turkey or tofu for a different protein option.

Add water chestnuts for extra crunch or stir in sriracha for heat.

Use tamari or certified gluten-free soy sauce to make the dish gluten-free.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Freeze portions for up to 2 months and thaw overnight before reheating.

Add a splash of water when reheating to keep the rice moist.
