Ingredients

1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breast (or thighs)
1 cup shredded carrots
16 ounces broccoli florets (fresh, or frozen and thawed)
2 cups teriyaki glaze/sauce (such as Kikkoman brand)
¼ cup hoisin sauce
2 cups chicken broth
2 cups quick cooking rice
Green onions, for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350˚F.
Step 2: Cut the chicken into small bite-sized pieces, about ½ to 1 inch each.
Step 3: In a large 9×13 inch casserole dish, combine the chicken, broccoli, shredded carrots, teriyaki sauce, hoisin sauce, and rice. Mix well until everything is evenly distributed, then spread the mixture evenly in the dish.
Step 4: Pour the chicken broth over the top of the mixture. Bake uncovered for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and most of the liquid has been absorbed. The casserole may bubble around the edges but should not be soupy.
Step 5: Remove from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. Garnish with sliced green onions before serving warm.

If you prefer a spicier dish, mix in some crushed red pepper flakes or serve with sriracha.

Ingredients

Scale

Protein and Vegetables

1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breast (or thighs), cut into ½-1 inch pieces
1 cup shredded carrots
16 ounces broccoli florets (fresh or frozen and thawed)

Sauces and Liquids

2 cups teriyaki glaze/sauce (Kikkoman brand recommended)
¼ cup hoisin sauce
2 cups chicken broth

Grains and Garnish

2 cups quick cooking rice
Green onions, for garnish

Instructions

Preheat the oven: Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the casserole.
Prepare the chicken: Cut the boneless skinless chicken breast or thighs into small bite-sized pieces, about ½ to 1 inch in size for even cooking and easy eating.
Combine ingredients: In a large 9×13 inch casserole dish, mix together the chicken pieces, broccoli florets, shredded carrots, teriyaki sauce, hoisin sauce, and quick cooking rice. Stir thoroughly to evenly distribute all components.
Add liquid and bake: Pour the chicken broth evenly over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Place the casserole dish in the oven and bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and most of the liquid has absorbed. The edges will bubble but the casserole should not be soupy.
Rest and garnish: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it sit for 10 minutes to set. Garnish with freshly chopped green onions before serving warm.

Notes

Using quick cooking rice shortens the overall cooking time. If using regular rice, adjust cooking time accordingly.
You can substitute chicken thighs for breast for a juicier dish.
Frozen broccoli should be thawed and drained to prevent excess moisture.
Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated thoroughly before eating.
For a gluten-free version, ensure the teriyaki and hoisin sauces are labeled gluten-free.
