- If you’re short on time, use pre-cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken to speed up the process.
- Feel free to swap out the veggies based on what you have on hand—bell peppers, snap peas, or even zucchini work great!
- For a spicy kick, add a drizzle of sriracha or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
- Pair this dish with a refreshing drink like my Green Goddess Juice for a complete meal!

This Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowl is perfect as a standalone meal, but you can also serve it with:
- A side of edamame for a protein boost.

It’s a fantastic way to create a balanced meal that’s both satisfying and nutritious!
Make Ahead and Storage
If you’re looking to save time during the week, this recipe is great for meal prep! Here’s how to make it ahead:
- Cook the chicken and veggies in advance, then store them in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
