Baked Teriyaki Chicken

Another easy, weeknight meal that’s on the table in less than an hour. Teriyaki is a BIG thing in Seattle. I often make my sauce, but sometimes I don’t have time. On those nights, I pour an entire bottle of teriyaki sauce on chicken thighs and dinner is halfway done!

Ingredients

2-3 lbs chicken thighs, boneless, skinless

Homemade Teriyaki Sauce or one bottle of your choice

Steamed white rice

Steamed broccoli

Method

Pre-heat the oven to 375

In a baking dish, add the chicken thighs and season with salt & pepper on both sides

Pour your teriyaki sauce over the chicken, flipping each piece to coat it well

Bake in a pre-heated oven for 45 minutes

You can put it under the broiler for a couple of minutes at the end, or place the things on a separate wire rack to broil if you want some char

While the chicken is baking, prepare rice according to package directions. I use my Instant Pot and just hit the “rice” button, and it’s done for me

Steam your broccoli. I actually microwave mine for three minutes!

When the chicken is done, assemble and eat! I use the sauce in the baking dish to cover the rice & broccoli
