→ Main Casserole
10 -
1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
11 -
32 ounces frozen mixed Asian veggies, no sauce
12 -
1 cup pineapple tidbits, drained, packed in juice
13 -
3 cups cooked brown rice
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Pour soy sauce, water, brown sugar, honey, ginger, olive oil, and garlic into a small saucepan. Whisk everything together to dissolve the sugar. Turn on the heat to medium and let it warm up until you see light bubbles.
02 -
In another bowl, mix cornstarch and water until they're blended smooth. When the sauce starts bubbling, slowly whisk in this mix. Keep stirring as it thickens. As soon as it looks thick, move it away from the heat and set aside.
03 -
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lay the chicken breasts flat in a 9×13 pan, try not to overlap. Pour about one cup of the teriyaki sauce on the chicken and spread it around so it covers every piece.
04 -
Bake the chicken for 30–35 minutes or until it's nice and hot in the center and hits 165°F (74°C). Take it out and use a couple forks to shred the chicken up in the pan.
05 -
While your chicken is baking, cook the frozen veggies by following the instructions on the package. If you still need to make your brown rice, whip that up like it says on the box.
06 -
Throw in your cooked rice, shredded chicken, drained pineapple, and the hot veggies all into the pan. Save a bit of teriyaki sauce for serving, but pour the rest over. Stir everything until it’s all mixed.
07 -
Toss the dish back in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes. Once it's done, pour the rest of your saved teriyaki sauce over everything just before you dig in.
