Sesame Teriyaki Chicken Bowls

But, I will have to think about how I want to do that. So today let’s talk about food. This Sesame Teriyaki Chicken Bowls food. It is basically a sheet pan full of veggies and chicken, that I bake for a few minutes. And an absolutely delicious homemade sesame teriyaki sauce. The best ever, I might go so far to say. It is not traditional teriyaki sauce, but boy is it good.

In this recipe, about half way through the cooking process, I dump it over the chicken and veggies, stirred, and then return to the oven to finish cooking. However, if you want your sauce to be a little thicker on the veggies and chicken you could just toss them together after the veggies and chicken are cooked through. Either way you will love it, and love that it is so low mess.

Meal Prep

I have been on a big meal prep kick lately. It all started with these seriously yummy Greek Chicken Meal Prep Bowls, and then I made an Italian Chicken version, then (my favorite) a Salsa Verde Taco Meal Prep Bowl. And now I am keeping the trend going with this Teriyaki Chicken version. But you don’t have to eat it as meal prep. It is excellent on its own as dinner!

Teriyaki Chicken Bowl Things to Note:

• Swap the veggies for your favorites. You don’t have to use this variety.
• Add veggies onto the pan in stages while cooking to keep everything crisp tender, with heartier veggies at the beginning and the tender veggies (like snow peas) at the end.
• Add sauce half way through for a more subtle flavor, or at end for a stronger, richer flavor.
• This makes 4 servings, and they can store for 3-5 days in the fridge.
• I used my favorite re-usable containers–FIND THEM HERE.
• Check out my other meal prep ideas: Greek Chicken, Italian Chicken, and Taco Meal Prep Bowls.
• This cook book offers 150 Meal Prep options.
