Teriyaki Chicken Ingredients
These simple ingredients may already be in your pantry. Here’s a list of what you need — the exact measurements are in the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
- Cooking oil
- Cooked chicken: this is a perfect recipe for using leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken.
- Ready-made teriyaki sauce
- Honey
- Spices: ground ginger and garlic powder
- Instant brown rice
- Fresh broccoli florets
- Sliced almonds (optional — or sesame seeds)
- Green onions for garnish
Ingredient Notes
Using a good quality teriyaki sauce is key. I have a couple of favorite brands I like to hand on hand for quick and easy meals.
Keeping teriyaki sauce on hand is also handy for marinading and basting meat. Or for a quick vegetable fried rice.
In fact, anytime I have leftover rice, I add whatever vegetables I have on hand, or even a bag of frozen peas and carrots, scramble an egg, and add a dash of teriyaki sauce. It’s so good!
Popular and highly rated brands of teriyaki sauce include Annie Chun’s Gourmet Teriyaki sauce and Kikkoman Teriyaki Marinade and Sauce.
