    Ingredients for this Teriyaki Chicken Casserole Recipe

    See printable recipe card below for exact ingredient amounts and step by step directions.

    • Soy Sauce- I use low sodium to cut down on the saltiness, this adds a salty and sweet addition to the sauce
    • Water- needed for the sauce
    • Brown Sugar- adds sweetness to the Teriyaki sauce, use light or dark
    • Ground Ginger- this is the perfect spice to add to Asian dishes, I use ground versus grated
    • Minced Garlic- I love using shortcut minced garlic from the store, however, fresh works great too
    • Cornstarch- helps thicken the sauce when combined with water to form a slurry
    • Chicken Breast- cooked and shredded or diced. I love using Rotisserie Chicken when I am short on time, or keeping a bag of cooked/shredded chicken in my freezer for recipes such as this one.
    • Vegetables- cooked. stir fry veggies or veggies of choice (you can find Asian Stir Fry veggies in the frozen section of your grocery store)
    • Rice– cooked, I use Jasmine rice, however, brown rice or any other type works great too

    Variations

    • Change up the vegetables to fit desired tastes. Options such as kidney beans, asparagus, peas, bell peppers, green onions, mushrooms, or water chestnuts work great.
    • Buy an already made Teriyaki sauce or glaze from the store and eliminate the homemade version.
    • Use ground beef or cut up steak in place of chicken.
    • Quinoa or brown rice can be used in place of the white rice.
    • Chicken Thighs are a good option in place of boneless skinless chicken.
    • Fried Rice works great in this recipe!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is Teriyaki Chicken healthy?

    Absolutely! Since you are making the Teriyaki sauce from scratch, you can control a lot of the ingredients! Add in protein such as cooked chicken breasts, veggies, and rice are healthy additions too! Especially if using brown rice or Quinoa.

    If I don’t want to make homemade Teriyaki, which store bought version do you recommend?

    I have tried several versions and love them all. My go to versions are low sodium and especially THIS organic one!

    Can I halve this recipe so it doesn’t make as much?

    Absolutely! If cutting recipe in half, you will want to make it in an 8×8 baking dish.

    Can I use the sauce recipe to make an easy Teriyaki chicken instead?

    Absolutely! Create the sauce as directed and pour over some baked or grilled chicken breasts instead of adding to this casserole.

    How do I adapt this recipe to be made in the slow cooker?

    Add all ingredients as directed to the bottom of your slow cooker. Place lid on and cook on low for about 4 hours. Scoop and serve!

    What is an easy way to cook the chicken for this recipe?

    I love using Rotisserie chicken for my casseroles, however, I also love taking several chicken breasts and placing them in my slow cooker. Add about 1-2 cups of chicken broth depending on how many chicken breasts you added. Season as desired with salt, pepper, or an all-purpose seasoning. Cook on low 6-8 hours, or high for about 4 hours. Shred and allow to fully cool before storing in refrigerator or freezer.

    What is your go to method to cook rice?

    I love using my Instant Pot! The rice turns out fluffy and perfect each and every time! Instant Pot Jasmine Rice is a family fav!
