Hey cousins! In this post, I bring to you a delightful recipe that’s sure to tantalize your taste buds – the Teriyaki Chicken Casserole. This dish is a fusion of flavors, combining the savory goodness of teriyaki sauce with tender chicken and an assortment of colorful veggies. And the best part? It’s just as delicious and reheated the next day! So, let’s get started.

How to Make Teriyaki Chicken Casserole

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
1 cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
3 cups of cooked white or brown rice
3 cups fresh stir fry vegetable mix
1 cup red cabbage
1/2 cup green cabbage
1/2 cup sliced green onions
1 tbsp olive oil or sesame oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

A large white casserole dish filled with homemade teriyaki chicken and rice with colorful mixed vegetables served on a white wood dining table.

Preparation: Start by marinating the chicken in the teriyaki sauce for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the chicken to soak up that delectable sauce.
Cook the Veggies: In a large pan or skillet, heat the oil on medium heat. Add the fresh stir-fry mix and onions. Sauté them for about 4-5 minutes until they are slightly tender yet still vibrant, then add in the cabbage and cook for 2 more minutes. Sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
Cook the Chicken: In the same skillet, add the marinated chicken. Cook until they are browned and cooked through about 8-10 minutes. Once done, shred or chop the chicken.
Combine and Bake: In a large baking dish, spread the cooked rice as the first layer. Top this with the sautéed veggies, peas, and then the cooked teriyaki chicken. If you have any leftover teriyaki sauce, drizzle it over the top. Mix everything gently so the flavors combine, but be careful not to mush the rice.
Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes or until everything is heated through and slightly crispy on the edges.
Before serving, sprinkle the sliced green onions on top for an added crunch and burst of flavor.

And there you have it — amazing Teriyaki Chicken Casserole that’s both hearty and satisfying!

Tips for Storing and Reheating Leftover Teriyaki Chicken Casserole

One of the beauties of this casserole is how well it stores. To keep your leftovers tasting fresh:

Let Cool Before Storing

Before you pack away the leftovers, ensure the casserole has cooled to room temperature. This prevents the buildup of condensation, which can make your dish soggy.

Store In Airtight Containers

Using an airtight container is essential to preserving the flavors and preventing any unwanted odors from infiltrating your delicious casserole.

Label and Date The Containers

It’s always a good idea to label your container with the date you made the casserole. While it’s likely to be eaten up quickly, it’s best to consume the leftovers within 3-4 days for the best quality.

Warming Up Leftovers:

Now, onto the exciting part – enjoying that dish a second time around! I have two ways that you can warm up those leftovers, cousins! You can either warm them up in the microwave or in the oven. You decide:

Microwave: For a quick reheat, place a portion of your casserole in a microwave-safe dish and heat on high for 2-3 minutes or until it’s hot all the way through. It’s a good idea to cover the dish with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap (with a small portion left open) to retain moisture.
Oven: If you have a bit more time, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the casserole in an oven-safe dish and cover with aluminum foil. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until heated thoroughly. The oven method is perfect for retaining the original texture of the casserole.
