Teriyaki Chicken Casserole
Teriyaki Chicken Casserole is full of savory chicken, rice and vegetables. The teriyaki sauce gives it outstanding flavor. This delicious meal is one your family will love!
First off, I must say I have to give Carrian from Oh Sweet Basil top notch credit for this fantastic recipe! If you are looking for an incredible, delicious and healthy meal to feed your family- this is it!
This Teriyaki Chicken Casserole is one you’ll love and even the kiddos too.
I think casseroles get a bad rap, and I can totally see why. Especially when they’re packed with a bunch of processed ingredients and cream-of-whatever soups everyone loves to hate. (I use them but not all the time.) For me though, I adore a good casserole. As a main or side dish. They’re comforting, yummy and usually pretty darn easy to whip up. I love that.
This one happens to be full of ingredients that are good for you and it is so delicious! When I made it for dinner the other week it hit a home run with my family. When my quiet hubby raves about a meal while we’re eating- I know it’s a winner. This will make an appearance often in the dinner rotation. 🙂

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray a 9×13-inch baking pan with non-stick spray.

- Meanwhile, stir together the corn starch and 2 tablespoons of water in a separate dish until smooth. Once sauce is boiling, add mixture to the saucepan and stir to combine. Cook until the sauce starts to thicken then remove from heat.
- Place the chicken breasts in the prepared pan. Then place the steamed veggies all around the chicken breasts. Pour one cup of the sauce over top of chicken and veggies. Cover pan with foil and bake for 30 minutes or until internal temperature of chicken reaches 165 degrees F. Remove from oven. Carefully remove foil and shred chicken while still in the dish, using two forks.
- Add the cooked rice to the casserole dish. Add most of the remaining sauce, reserving a bit to drizzle over the top when serving. Gently toss everything together until combined. Return to oven and cook 10 minutes or until everything is heated through. Remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes before serving. Drizzle each serving with remaining sauce. Enjoy!

Thaw. Frozen will take twice as long to cook and burn the glaze in the process.
We LOVE this recipe and it’s always My go to recipe when making a meal for new moms. We like Our teriYaki just a tad sweeter so i sub the water for pineapple juice and add an extra TABLESPOON of brown sugar. We also love Using fresh veggies in thiS! So delicious! Thank you!!

Super easy to make with staple ingredients from home! Definitely recommend!
Can this be made using ROTISSERIE chicken?
Yes, absolutely!
Excellent recipe
Substitute coconut aminos for soy sauce. Cuts salt intake to less than half and tastes exactly the same as soy sauce. No coconut taste!!!!! All stores Carry it. I get mine at trader joes. Dr. Recommended substitute for soy sauce.
Just made this a few days ago and the whole family loved it! I did Use less sauce when i put it in the oven i just thought 1 cup would be a little much! It ended up being perfect! Will make this again for sure!!!!
I didn’t have any white rice so I used yellow rice and no ginger so i used Teriyaki sauce and added a little more brown sugar , it was so good, Thank you !!!
Delicious! My family loved it! I added some fresh green onion (scallion) and used chicken thighs instead. But the sauce was amazing!
Could this be made with a cooked rotisserie chicken?
Yes, absolutely. Just prepare the teriyaki sauce on the stovetop as normal. Place the shredded chicken in the 9×13 pan with the teriyaki sauce, rice and veggies and bake 15 minutes or until heated through. 🙂
VERY YUMMY! MY HUSBAND AND KIDS LOVED IT! THANKS!
fantastic recipe and have added it to my “book”. I have made this twice…Once for my house and once for my brothers (I feed him and his kids once a week). The first time I made it I switched out the soy sauce (i’m allergic to soy) for coconut aminos and added 1/4 tsp of salt; that was all i changed. we both loved it. The second time I made it i cheated a bit (it was for my brother and his kids who dont have a soy allergy) and i used pre-made teriyaki marinade that i thicked. I made a triple bach (1 adult male and 4 teenage boys) and there were no leftovers. they all felt like this was the best meal i had ever made for them. NORMALLY I HATE WHEN PEOPLE LEAVE A REVIEW BUT DIDN’T MAKE IT EXACTLY LIKE THE RECIPE IS WRITTEN. HOWEVER, I feel like the changes i made are not to far off from the original and might help someone else 🙂
Some days are just too hot for turning on the oven!
So can this be done by sauteeing the chicken; add the rest,and saute some more?
Yes, Amy. You could cook this all on the stove top!
I cooked 3 cups of dry rice and that was a good amount for the casserole. I did diced chicken on the stove and then just combined everything at the end and put it in the oven. Very delicious and easy!
I made This for my famiLy and it was a huge hit. So DELICIOUS!
I made this recipe earlier and is so good. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe, as my partner loves it. Will try it again next week.
It is an awesome recipe. Thanks so much.
Delicious and I will definitely be making it again.
This recipe was wonderful, mainly because of hearing how much my husband loved it! We are newlyweds and it has been trial and error when it comes to finding his favorite meals. Next time I make it I think I’ll do 1/2 cauli rice for me and 1/2 brown rice if that would work? This will definitely be on my “hubby approved” meal list.
Hi Kaycee! So happy you and your hubby enjoyed it! I think using half cauliflower rice and half brown rice would be delicious!
Hi!
For the STIR FRY vegetables, can you use a frozen blend? Or are freah veggies better? My grocery doesnt have a mix in the produce
Asile, so its either fresh individual i pick myself or frozen.
If fresh, do i cook before adding to the pan for the oven? Thank you!
Hi Michele! Yes you can use a frozen veggie blend, but I would be sure to thaw them or partially cook them first to release the water. If you put them in frozen they will add a lot of water to the baking dish. Just thaw or partially cook them first before using in the recipe. 🙂
first of all, this has become a favorite in our home. I do cook the frozen veggies, drain and add to cooked rice for second part of recipe. It keeps them from getting mushy. I also cut up the chicken ahead of baking into bite sized pieces. Super EASY AND delicious recipe!
can this be made in a crockpot?
thanks
Made this last night. I didn’t shred the chicken, just cut chicken tenders into bite size pieces. DELICIOUS!!! Will be making this again
can you use fresh vegetables? thanks
Yes, definitely!
HI
I made this last night. The concept is great. Baking everything together saves time and some clean up. I found that it make way to much sauce and that 1 cup soy sauce is too much for me. I will reduce the soy sauce and increase the water next time. I also used fresh carrots, peppers, green onions and broccoli. It was very tasty (perhaps a little too salty, even using low sodium soy sauce) but we enjoyed it. Thanks for posting!
