  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

– 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup teriyaki sauce
– 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
– 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
– 1 cup broccoli florets
– 1 cup carrots, sliced
– 1 cup snap peas
– 2 green onions, chopped
– Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
– Pickled ginger (optional)


Instructions

Creating a Chicken Teriyaki Bento Box is easy when you follow these simple steps:

1. Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken breasts and teriyaki sauce. Allow them to marinate for at least 15-20 minutes.
2. Cook Rice: Prepare your rice according to package instructions. Set aside when done.
3. Sauté Vegetables: In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add broccoli, carrots, and snap peas. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are tender but still crisp. Remove from heat.
4. Cook Chicken: In the same skillet, add the marinated chicken breasts. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
5. Add Sauce: Pour any remaining teriyaki sauce over the chicken in the skillet. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
6. Slice Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and slice it into bite-sized pieces.
7. Assemble Bento Box: In your bento box, add a portion of rice, the sautéed vegetables, and sliced chicken.
8. Garnish: Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Add pickled ginger if desired.
9. Serve: Enjoy your Chicken Teriyaki Bento Box immediately, or cover and refrigerate for later.
