I love to make easy one pot meals for my family on busy weeknights. They are simple, quick to prepare, and take very little time to cook. This one pan teriyaki chicken recipe is always on rotation in our home. Clean up is a breeze and it’s perfect for busy weeknights. If you love the flavor of our homemade teriyaki sauce, you are going to love some of our other Asian recipes.

Teriyaki Chicken Ingredients

  • Chicken Breasts: I like to use boneless skinless chicken breasts, but you can substitute chicken thighs. You will need to add a few extra minutes to the cooking time for chicken thighs.
  • Bell Pepper: I used a red bell bell pepper, but orange or yellow also taste great.
  • Peas: Sugar snap peas are so tasty in this recipe.
  • Broccoli: This teriyaki chicken calls for a head of broccoli florets.
  • Carrots: You can use whole carrots and cut them into small slices, or use 1 1/2 cups of pre shredded carrots that you can find in the produce section of the grocery store.
  • TERIYAKI SAUCE
  • Soy Sauce: Use low sodium soy sauce to cut down on the salt content.
  • Water: Water is used in the homemade teriyaki sauce.
  • Brown Sugar: Brown sugar adds the perfect amount of sweet flavor to the sauce.
  • Rice Vinegar: Rice vinegar is commonly used in Asian inspired dishes, and can be found down the Asian isle of you local grocery store.
  • Sesame Oil: Sesame oil is also commonly used in Asian recipes, but this is optional. I love the flavor, but it is not necessary.
  • Ginger: I like to use ground ginger for the convenience, but fresh ginger may also be used.
  • Garlic: Minced garlic in a jar, or fresh minced garlic both work well.
  • Honey: Honey adds a touch of sweetness, and helps thicken the sauce.
  • Cornstarch: Cornstarch is added to thicken sauces. Bring teriyaki sauce to a boil, and allow it to cool while it thickens.

  • Pour homemade teriyaki sauce over chicken and vegetables and stir to combine well.
  • Next, arrange the chicken and veggies on the baking sheet, spreading them into an even layer with as little overlap as possible, and place in a preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
  • Remove from oven and sprinkle sesame seeds over teriyaki chicken. Serve over white rice, brown rice, or quinoa. Enjoy!
