Print Recipe

A flavorful and hearty dish featuring tender baked teriyaki chicken served over seasoned rice, perfect for a comforting dinner.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 cup long grain white rice
  • 1 1/2 cups water or chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a baking dish, combine rice and water or chicken broth. Stir to evenly distribute.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil to make the sauce.
  4. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper and sear in a skillet with olive oil until browned on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  5. Place seared chicken on top of the rice in the baking dish.
  6. Pour the teriyaki mixture evenly over the chicken and rice.
  7. Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and rice is tender.
  8. Remove foil, garnish with green onions and sesame seeds, and bake uncovered for an additional 5 minutes for a glazed finish.
  9. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate chicken in the teriyaki sauce for 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Use brown rice for a healthier alternative, but increase cooking time by 10-15 minutes.
  • Add steamed broccoli or mixed vegetables for a complete meal.
