Use just one pot and one pan to make a delicious teriyaki chicken bake meal that’s packed with veggies and quick and easy for those busy nights.
Jump to RecipeDon’t you just love the recipes that only take one or two pans, and not much active time? I know I do! They make dinner quick and easy and clean up even easier as well. Those crazy weeknights that we all tend to have call for just this type of meal: Teriyaki Chicken Bake.
I decided to try something out that would use just one pot and one baking sheet. I love teriyaki flavoring, especially when it’s homemade. A homemade sauce tastes so much better than any you can buy from the store. And it’s so simple to make.
Another goal for this year has been to try to eat more healthy and to make sure we eat more vegetables every day. So I figured out ways to work some broccoli, green beans, and bell peppers into this as well.
And, of course, since I was making this with some rice, it gave me yet another excuse to break out one of my favorite kitchen gadgets, my rice steamer. It makes the rice perfectly and takes about the same amount of time as the chicken did, so it was all ready at the same time.
If you enjoy teriyaki flavor as much as I do, you should also check out my recipe for Teriyaki Chicken Noodle Bowl, inspired by one of my favorite restaurants (Bentos) that we used to go to often when we lived in Orlando a few years ago.
Teriyaki Chicken Bake Step by Step
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup soy sauce
- 4 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp garlic (minced)
- 3 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 lb chicken breast (boneless, skinless)
- 2 cups vegetables (bell pepper, broccoli, green beans, etc.)
- salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, water and cornstarch, minced garlic, and honey. Keep it over medium heat until it starts to bubble and thicken, then remove from the heat.
On a baking sheet, place the chicken in the middle, and surround it with whatever vegetables you want for your meal. We used some broccoli and leftover bell pepper from making the Southwestern Salad.
Then sprinkle it with a bit of salt and pepper.
Cover the chicken and all of the vegetables with the teriyaki sauce and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
After it’s done baking, slice the chicken and serve it warm over the rice.
Add your vegetables to the bowl, and you can garnish with green onion or sesame seeds. I also like to add just a bit more soy sauce to the top, so the rice isn’t too dry.

I love love that you did this all on one pan! Definitely going to try this for dinner tonight as I have been struggling to come up with ideas and one pot is my preferred way to go!
Since I tend to be the one to cook and clean, I love one-pot meals as well!
I love teriyaki chicken and this looks delicious! Perfect timing because we were wondering what we should have tonight!
Teriyaki chicken is the best! I hope you and your family enjoyed the meal!!
I will have to try this one of these nights for dinner! I love the taste of teriyaki dishes (never attempted to make it myself though) Nows the time, right?! thanks for the recipe ; )
I’ve made the sauce a few times now, and was very surprised at how quick and easy it is to make it homemade!
Love that this was done with pretty much one pan! I recently moved into an apartment with no dishwasher (though I was told there was one in the unit) so finding one pan recipes has become a bit of an obsession in my downtime seeing as I don’t have much time for washing dishes each night.
Oh my gosh, I remember when our dishwasher went out for a week. I never realized how many dishes we used until I was hand washing every single one of them!
Love how simple this is! Perfect for dinner or for lunches for the week!!
If we hadn’t eaten it all, I was going to separate it out as lunches for the week!
I am really hungry now!!! This is definitely a meal I will be making for my family! I loved every that it’s healthy and looks super delicious!!
I hope you and your family enjoy this when you get a chance to make it! It’s so easy to make.
Quick and easy is exactly the kind of recipe I like! Looks delicious and healthy too.
Me too! With two little kids running around, I often need meals I can make quickly!
This looks so awesome. I would love try this out. I’m just sorry my daughter really doesn’t like teriyaki all that much because I love it.
My mom doesn’t either so my dad only makes it when we are in town. You could try to make one of the chickens with teriyaki and put other seasonings on the other for your daughter.
Yum. Yum. Yum. Quick, Easy, & Teriyaki is my favorite. Why do you always have the best recipes?
Thank you! We love to experiment and try all kinds of new recipes, it gives me a lot to write about!
I want to try that dish too for my family,so easy to do in just one pot!
I love when it’s only one pan, so many less dishes to worry about later! I hope you and your family enjoys this.
YUM!!! I’m always looking for quick and yummy meals to make for my family since we are always running around! Will definitely try this one.
My boys are young enough that we aren’t always on the go just yet, but it isn’t easy to cook long and drawn out recipes with them around either so I need quick and easy most nights as well.
All of those veggies paired with that full flavored sauce will be a perfect winter comfort meal for me! Looks so good!
This was definitely some comfort food! It was so warm and delicious!
I love sheet pan recipes!! I usually do fajitas this way but this also looks fantastic. I bet I could sub for soy and be good to go!
I haven’t tried sheet pan fajitas yet, but I have seen a few recipes. We love fajitas, I’ll have to try that out soon.
YES! I am always sold when I hear that it only takes one or two pans! Makes such a big difference!! Plus, Teriyaki Chicken is SOOOOO good!
Girl, me too! My boys go to bed at 7 so I don’t have much time to do dishes if we want time to play together before bedtime!
Mmm that glaze looks so delicious, I love how easy this is to throw together too!
I’ve had storebought teriyaki before and it doesn’t taste near as fresh and delicious as making it myself!
What a simple way to fix a great meal! All the parts in one pan sure makes clean up much easier.
We love meals with easy cleanup! You do have two because the sauce is made in a saucepot and the chicken and veggies on the sheet pan, but that’s it!
We eat some sort of chicken 4 times a week at least so I am always looking for ways to spice it up!
We eat a lot of chicken here, too. Teriyaki is a great blast of flavor if you want something new!
I am away this week to attend my daughter’s graduation. I can tell you the first meal I am going to cook when I go back home is that delicious chicken teriyaki. I haven’t had that for a while. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
I hope you have a great time with your daughter! I was in south Florida last weekend for my cousin’s high school graduation. It’s always nice to have a plan for a good easy dinner when you get home.
I love that this is all in one pan! It’s the best kind of meal, in my opinion! We actually just tried green beans in the oven the other day with some sesame chicken and I was SO impressed with how they turned out. It’s nice that with this recipe you could mix in whatever veggies you had around. Yum!
Oh, sesame chicken sounds good, too! This is a great way to use up some veggies before they possibly go bad.
Can I just tell you that life has been hitting the fan lately with the end of the school year??? Most days I’m too busy to have time to THINK, even, so on the rare nights I actually GET to cook, I have been loving how fast and easy your recipes are! Thank you!!!
Girl, don’t I know it! Two kids at two different schools, plus I am in charge of the yearbook at the elementary school. We’ve been doing super easy meals lately, including a night or two of grilled cheese sandwich and peanut butter and honey sandwich!
This is an wonderful idea and easy to make as we have teriyaki sauce here in Japan. I don’t have a big oven, it is ok to cook it in a pan?
I think it would work fine in a pan, too. It may not glaze quite as much as the oven, but the flavors would still infuse into the chicken and veggies.
oooh…this looks awesome. Teriyaki chicken is one of my favorites. I’m gonna try this.
Mine too! My dad used to make it all the time, and I hadn’t had it in so long since I don’t care for bottled teriyaki sauce.
You had me at quick and easy. Lol. I live the flavor of teriyaki but don’t make it often. I’ll have to change that!
I know, sometimes a quick and easy meal is what we need after a long day!
This looks so yummy as well as healthy. I love your recipes , they are easy to follow. I am going to try this soon too. Thank you so much..
It’s definitely both! I hope you enjoy the meal, it’s a perfect one to make on busy nights when you don’t have a lot of time to cook.
I love homemade teriyaki sauce so much better than restaurant or store bought…its amazing and this recipe looks so healthy
Me too! It’s so much better when you make it yourself and have control over the ingredients.
Ooo I am feeling Friday hunger already thanks to this lovely foodie post. Love the look of all those fresh veggies xx
The veggies were great with the homemade teriyaki sauce on them!
This meal looks like it would be so very good! I love teriyaki as a sauce – so we would devour this!
Teriyaki is one of my favorite sauces, too. It goes so great on chicken!
I tried one of you recipes yesterday and it turned out great. The only problem is I let it get to my head and now my friends and family can’t live in peace. Haha. Thank you so much and keep on sharing.
I’ll save this one for next weekend.
Thank you! I love hearing that my recipes are helping others out in the kitchen and giving you new recipes to try!
I like this type of smart dishes for busy time and still have the teriyaki sauce left over from the grill from the long weekend..
I think I will use it in the evening in a similar way, I will only replace chicken on tofu 🙂
Oh that would be perfect! It makes such a quick and easy meal.
I try this recipe and its delicious, its very easy to prepare it, I Recommended for everyone it.
Thanks for sharing! We love quick and easy meals and it doesn’t get much easier than this one.
What a quick and easy recipe! It looks so delicious!
It’s definitely all of that, quick, easy, and so yummy!
I never thought Teryaki chicken would be that easy to make! I am cooking it this weekend yummm.
It can be as easy as that! Of course, I like homemade foods, but you can also buy teriyaki sauce at the store if you need something even quicker than this.
Some of the BEST dishes are teriyaki based. At least that’s my opinion.
I agree, teriyaki has always been a favorite flavor of mine.
That will be on our table tomorrow. Not only I have all the ingredients, but we all also love Teriaky at home. Thanks for this great recipe, we will have an awesome Friday.
Oh, sounds perfect! I hope you do have an awesome Friday, with the meal and all day 🙂
Delicious recipe and making it in one pan is really handy when it comes to traveler or students who study aboard. Because there is no time and might not have the money to buy a couple of pans.
I hadn’t even thought about the ease for travelers and students. As a busy mom, that’s usually the first thing I think of.
This looks super delicious! I have noticed Teriyaki sauce at the store, will get it and try this recipe soon ☺ Great recipe as always ❤
I love the flavor of teriyaki. I’ve made this with homemade and store-bought and both work well for it.
