Oven Baked Teriyaki Chicken and Rice Casserole
Juicy chicken is combined with homemade teriyaki sauce, crisp-tender red bell peppers, juicy pineapple chunks, tender rice, and fresh green onions for color and flavor. There’s also plenty of garlic and ginger, which is a must in Asian-inspired recipes. Since my daughter and I love the combination of pineapple with savory flavors like teriyaki sauce, this was a total win for us. The sweetness balances the salty, savory aspect. I really liked that you’re able to mix together the rice, pineapple, and peppers in the baking dish you’re using, and that everything cooks together at the same time rather than having to make the rice separately. Just make sure you use ‘minute rice’ and not regular rice!

For the teriyaki sauce:
Low-sodium soy sauce Light brown sugar Garlic Ground ginger Red pepper flakes Water Cornstarch
How to Make Teriyaki Chicken Casserole
Baked teriyaki chicken breasts with rice and veggies is so quick and easy to prepare! So long as you use minute rice, everything cooks in the same pan, all at once! Here are the basic recipe steps:
Tips for Making Baked Teriyaki Chicken and Rice
Note that using thin-sliced or pounded chicken breasts will ensure that the baked chicken and rice are both cooked though at the same time. Do not use regular thickness chicken breasts; halve them if that’s what you have. When dolloping the chicken teriyaki sauce over the meat, make sure you don’t “double dip” the spoon (i.e. touch the raw chicken and then return the spoon to the sauce). You’ll likely have leftover sauce that you can spoon over the baked chicken and rice later on, and you don’t want the bacteria from the raw meat to contaminate it!
