Easy Teriyaki Chicken Recipe (Served Two Ways)

By

This easy Teriyaki chicken recipe can be made two different ways, quickly and easily!

I love a dish that can be served multiple ways. It’s keep boredom at bay while still giving you a delicious meal.

TWO WAYS TO SERVE EASY CHICKEN TERIYAKI

The basic recipe for the chicken teriyaki remains the same. But you can keep things interesting by serving it either over rice, or with rice noodles. While it seems like they should taste pretty similar, they actually are two very different dishes.

IF YOU MAKE THIS WITH:

  • Rice – serve it over a bed or rice like I did above for Mini Chef. Put the rice in the bowl first and then ladle the chicken and some of the sauce over the top.
  • Noodles – mix the noodles into the pan so they become well coated in sauce. You may need a little extra sauce for this because the pasta can easily soak up the extra sauce. I usually stir it all up in the pan and then pour a little extra sauce over the top once I have this served in bowls.

HOW TO MAKE EASY CHICKEN TERIYAKI

To make this truly quick and easy, make your sauce ahead of time. When you begin to make this recipe, set your rice or noodles to cook separately first. While those cook, you can make the chicken. It’s easy because all you have to do is sauté the the chicken and veggies with the spices and sauce plus a little oil to start things off. Dinner is done in the time it takes to make your rice or noodles because the skillet cooking of the chicken and broccoli is very quick and easy and will cook faster than the rice or noodles in most cases (if you chicken chunks aren’t too big and thick).

Years ago, I had a bad fall and injured my tailbone. It was one of the WORST pains I’d ever experienced. All the nerves surrounding my spine and lower back felt like they were on FIRE…Yoouuch!!! I was traveling for work at the time, and had to be pumped full of morphine just to get on the plane back home. I was bedridden for 3 weeks and miserable. I desperately tried every natural remedy I knew about to bring down the inflammation… and some things worked better than others. One of the most effective herbal supplements I took was a daily turmeric supplement . Thankfully, after several more weeks of turmeric supplements, acupuncture, and taking it easy, my tailbone had a full recovery. This was the first time I experienced for myself how powerful turmeric is. I’ve since learned that turmeric is even more amazing, and that it is literally PACKED with health benefits that can improve your skin, your heart, your mood, and even your waistline! To show you how remarkable this spice...
