This is one of my go easy chicken casseroles when things get really hectic but I still want to put a chicken dinner on the table.

I like to use the leftovers for meal planning to make teriyaki chicken and rice wraps with your favourite toppings for lunch or dinner the next day.

Serve it with my cheese stuffed garlic bread, loaded garden salad, easy Chinese chicken salad, fattoush salad, easy chicken tenders without breading and my kale salad.

Ingredients

  • Teriyaki Sauce – I prefer the Kikkoman teriyaki sauce, but use your favorite
  • Chicken Breasts – 1 lb. of boneless skinless chicken cubed, or use chicken thighs
  • Frozen Stir Fry Vegetables – 20 ounce frozen vegetable bag for convenience or you can chop your own fresh vegetables

I like to make the rice the day before and store it in the fridge to make this dish in as little as 20 minutes the next day!!
