    When my kids hear we are having chicken for dinner, they usually let out a big groan. It's not that they don't like chicken, but they do find roasted chicken and grilled chicken to be a little bland. They have also grown tired of my breaded chicken. So I was excited to surprise them with a flavorful twist on the typical chicken dinner. Try this easy Chicken Teriyaki recipe and see for yourself why it was such a big hit. You'll also love our Air Fryer Chicken Teriyaki Drumsticks.

    Chicken Teriyaki

    It takes just five ingredients to make this delicious chicken teriyaki that your family will request again and again. Start out by chopping some onions and peppers. I used red peppers because that is what I had on hand, but green peppers would work well too. Cut some defrosted or fresh chicken breast into bite size pieces and cook until no longer pink. At that point, add in the chopped onions and cook for a few more minutes. Lastly, add Teriyaki Marinade and cook with the chicken and veggies until the sauce thickens.

    I served the chicken teriyaki over a bed of white rice. I made the rice in our pressure cooker, so it just took 30 minutes to cook up. Cooking the rice was the longest part of this process and it still only took a half and hour. Once the chicken was defrosted, the meal came together in no time. You can have a restaurant quality meal on the table in under 40 minutes. This dish is a lifesaver on busy nights.

    This easy chicken teriyaki dish has become part of our rotation of meals. Make sure to scoop some extra sauce that is leftover in the pan and pour it over the chicken when serving. If you serve it with rice, like I did, the sauce will seep into the rice for the best rice you've ever tasted.

      This is one of my favorites! I love to make chicken teriyaki and serve it in a lettuce wrap or over some white rice! YUM.

      My kids love chicken, but I guess I am always trying some new marinade or way to make it. We eat chicken most days as well. My kids really like teriyaki too, so I will have to locate some for this recipe and give it a try.

      This looks SO good. And now I'm hungry. Lol. I'm pretty sure I've tried one of their sauces before and it was delicious. My favorite type of meal is throwing the chicken in the crockpot with this sauce and leaving it. Such a good easy meal! Thanks for sharing!

      I love the Teriyaki flavor. Although I mostly try it on my vegetarian proteins, but I have always enjoyed them.

      This looks great, definitely making me hungry! I try to stick to a plant-based diet but I bet this sauce would go great with tofu!! Thank you for sharing 🙂

      We love Asian style cuisine at home! My daughter has a soy allergy, so we can't use soy sauce that is store bought, we have to make our own.

      Yum! You can also skip the rice and just add a ton more veggies for a low-carb version.

      Yum!! I love teriyaki chicken but have never actually made it myself (yet!). I've been experimenting creating simple Asian dishes and I think I will have to add this to my list! Plus, I love the Target Cartwheel app and its discounts so I think I'll have to go and pick up the sauce and make it sooner rather than later 😉

      Made this for dinner tonight and couldn’t have been any easier or yummier! Gotta make sure I always keep a bottle of this Veri Veri Teriyaki Marinade in the pantry for easy last minute dinners.
