• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 cup sliced carrots
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 cup snap peas
• 1 cup teriyaki sauce (homemade or store-bought)
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
2. • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
3. Cook the Chicken:
4. • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the cubed chicken with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
5. Prepare the Vegetables:
6. • In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets, sliced carrots, diced red bell pepper, and snap peas. Cook until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
7. Prepare the Sauce:
8. • In a small bowl, whisk together the teriyaki sauce and soy sauce. In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the teriyaki mixture and stir until well combined.
9. Assemble the Casserole:
10. • In the prepared baking dish, spread the cooked rice evenly across the bottom.
    • Layer the cooked chicken on top of the rice.
    • Spread the sautéed vegetables over the chicken.
    • Pour the teriyaki sauce mixture evenly over the entire casserole.
11. Bake:
12. • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and the sauce is bubbly.
13. Serve:
14. • Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve warm.
