Teriyaki Chicken and Vegetable Bowls

These Teriyaki chicken and vegetable bowls are a family favorite recipe at my house! My kids love them and love to add their favorite vegetables to the bowl. These are adaptable to whatever vegetables you have or like.

My kids love broccoli, it’s one of their very favorite vegetables so I always include it in these bowls because I know they will eat it and enjoy it! They also love cauliflower, corn, mini corns, and carrots so those are great options for my family to add into these. I have listed some potential add ins down below in the recipe for some inspiration.

This chicken is super flavor packed and my family could eat it all week and literally never get sick of it! It’s such a simple combo of flavors that makes up the teriyaki flavorings and taste. It’s garlic, ginger, soy sauce or coconut aminos or soy sauce substitute you prefer and a touch of honey. The chicken gets marinated in a garlic, ginger, honey and soy sauce quick marinade so it’s super infused with the teriyaki flavor.

I like to marinade the chicken for around 30 minutes minimum to insure it tenderizes and infuses the chicken with the flavors. A few hours would be amazing but even a 30 minute marinade does a good job.
