How To Make Teriyaki Chicken Casserole

1. Prep work: Preheat oven to 350°F (180ºC) and grease a casserole with nonstick spray or butter.

2. Make the teriyaki sauce: Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, honey, and cornstarch to the pot. Mix until the cornstarch is dissolved and the sauce is combined. Cook for a few minutes until the sauce begins to thicken.

3. Cook the chicken: Arrange the chicken breasts in the prepared casserole dish and top with half of the sauce. Bake for 45 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked. Then remove the chicken from the oven and shred it with two forks in the dish.

4. Cook the veggies: When the chicken is almost done cooking, microwave the stir fry vegetables according to the package directions.

5. Assemble the casserole: Add the veggies, cooked rice, and edamame on top of the chicken in the baking dish. Mix everything together to combine it with the shredded chicken. Add the rest of the sauce on top - reserve some for serving if desired - and mix to combine once more.

6. Bake and serve: Put the casserole back in the oven and bake it for 15 minutes. Serve warm with green onions, fresh parsley, and the remaining teriyaki sauce on top. Enjoy!

Tips To Make The Best Recipe

• Use rotisserie chicken or any cooked chicken you have on hand to save time. Just shred it and combine it with the rest of your ingredients and bake for 15 minutes since the chicken is already fully cooked.
• Use shredded chicken thighs to add more flavor.
• Swap brown rice for white rice if you want, or cauliflower rice to make a low-carb version.
• Experiment with adding ingredients like pineapple juice, chili oil, or sesame oil for extra flavor to the sauce.
• Garnish the teriyaki chicken casserole with sesame seeds for an authentic flavor.

How To Store Teriyaki Chicken Casserole

In the fridge: Store leftover chicken teriyaki casserole in an airtight container or in the casserole dish with a lid on, and it'll last in the fridge for 3-4 days. 

In the freezer: Allow the leftover casserole to cool completely, then transfer everything to a freezer-safe container or freezer-safe bag and freeze for up to 4 months. 

Reheating: Put the leftovers back in a baking dish and warm in the oven at 350°F for about 10-12 minutes, or until it reaches your desired temperature. Let the frozen casserole thaw in the fridge before reheating, or add more reheating time.
