- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ cup brown sugar
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, diced
- 1 cup white rice, cooked
- 1 package frozen stir-fry mixed vegetables, prepared
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish to prevent sticking and easy cleanup.
- Make Teriyaki Sauce: In a skillet over medium-low heat, combine water, soy sauce, minced garlic, ground ginger, and brown sugar. Let the mixture simmer gently for about 5 minutes until it thickens into a rich, flavorful teriyaki sauce.
- Combine Ingredients: Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the cooked diced chicken, cooked white rice, and the prepared frozen stir-fry mixed vegetables. Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated with the sauce.
- Bake: Transfer the combined mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes to meld the flavors and heat everything through.
