- 1 tbsp olive oil or sesame oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions
- 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.4 boneless, 1 cup teriyaki 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.3 cups fresh stir fry vegetable mix, 1 cup red cabbage, 1/2 cup green cabbage, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, Salt and pepper to taste, 1 tbsp olive oil or sesame oil

- 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.3 cups of cooked white or brown rice
