    Expert Tips

    • Cut the chicken and vegetables into uniform pieces. Cutting the chicken and vegetables into similar-sized pieces helps them cook evenly and at the same rate.
    • Use fresh broccoli and carrots. Fresh broccoli and carrots will have a better texture and flavor than frozen ones. Be sure to wash and cut the vegetables before cooking.
    • Customize the vegetables. You can easily customize this recipe by using your favorite vegetables or adding more veggies like bell peppers or onions.
    • Let the sauce simmer. Allowing the teriyaki sauce to simmer with the chicken and vegetables will help thicken it and coat everything evenly.

    Variations

    • Swap the chicken: You can use boneless pork, beef, or shrimp instead of chicken for a different flavor.
    • Change up the veggies: Instead of broccoli and carrots, try using other veggies like sugar snap peas, bok choy, or mushrooms.
    • Make it vegetarian: Use tofu instead of chicken for a vegetarian version of this dish.
    • Add more flavor: Add other seasonings like ginger, sesame oil, or rice vinegar to the teriyaki sauce for extra flavor.
    • Use homemade teriyaki sauce: You can make your own teriyaki sauce using soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, and rice vinegar for a healthier and more customized option.

    Storing & Freezing

    Storing: Allow the dish to cool to room temperature. Transfer the chicken and vegetables to an airtight container. Pour any remaining teriyaki sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Seal the container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

    Freezing: Transfer the cooled chicken and vegetables to an airtight container or freezer bag and freeze for up to 2-3 months. To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and warm up in the microwave or on the stove.

    Recipe FAQ's

    Can I use frozen broccoli and carrots for this recipe?

    While fresh vegetables will have better texture and flavor, you can use frozen broccoli and carrots if that's what you have on hand. Just make sure to thaw them first and drain any excess water before cooking.

    What other proteins can I use instead of chicken?

    You can use boneless pork, beef, or shrimp instead of chicken for a different flavor.
