Teriyaki Chicken and Veggies

April 7, 2011 by Laura 91 Comments

 I think I’d make this dish every other day if my family would let me get away with it. It is the perfect combination of flavors and I LOVE IT. It’s great because you can use leftover chicken if you have it, any veggies you have on hand…and if you have fresh pineapple? Well, be still my heart.

Yum

I don’t have an exact recipe for this dish. It’s more of a “throw food together” kind of dish, depending on what you have on hand. Then, make some brown rice and whip up some Teriyaki Sauce to pour on and you’ve got a great meal! So, forgive me for not putting exact measurements on this “recipe”. Just make enough for your family!

Here’s what you need:

  • Chicken – You can use leftover chicken (from cooking a whole chicken) and just stir it into the veggies, or you can brown up some chicken breasts or tenderloins
  • Chopped veggies (zucchini, carrots, sweet peppers, corn, peas, green beans or any others you would like) stir fried in olive oil
  • Chopped pineapple (fresh or canned), optional
  • Cooked brown rice
  • Teriyaki Sauce (This sauce is only gluten free if it is made with Gluten Free Soy Sauce!!! I recommend Organic Tamari Soy Sauce from OliveNation)

Here’s what to do:

Get your brown rice cooking. (I have easy directions for cooking brown rice here.)  Mix up Teriyaki Sauce and have it ready to go when chicken and veggies are done.

Chop up your veggies and stir them around in a skillet over medium heat with olive oil until they are tender. If your chicken needs to be cooked, throw that in too. (See what a fancy cook I am?)  :)  If you want, you can season your veggies and chicken with garlic.

Toss pineapple into the veggies to cook for just a few minutes.

Serve rice, veggies, pineapple and chicken with Teriyaki Sauce poured over the top!

Teriyaki Chicken and Vegetables

What veggies would you throw in to create this meal?  I know my menu plan said something different, but I think I’m making this tonight anyway. :)

    Oh, how I love Tamari sauce! This looks great…I love stir-fry…and my family does, too. Since phases 1 and 2 of The Maker’s Diet are grain-free, I made fried cauli-rice…just shred fresh cauliflower in your food processor and prepare just like fried rice with tamari sauce and it’s really yummy to add a scrambled egg. It taste so much like fried rice…it is awesome!

    A few weeks ago we were studying China and we made a similar recipe, what made it even better was eating it with chopsticks. This week we are studying Japan so I made it again, we didn’t have any pineapple, but I cut up an orange and we ended up throwing the slices into our bowl and of course don’t forget the chopsticks. Another easy way is frozen oriental vegetables. I love the water chestnuts and other vegetables we don’t typically eat. Sounds so good, I think that’s what I’m having for dinner.

    I’m all about the non-recipe recipes at our house. In fact it is almost a running joke with my husband. “This is really good. Is it a recipe or is this the only time it will be exactly like this? Did you just whip it up out of your head?” And often the answer is no, yes and yes. Oh, and thanks.

    Do you usually stir-fry in olive oil? I used to, but recently read an article that said it is less heat stable than coconut oil(perhaps b/c it is polyunsatured?) and that it shouldn’t be used for stir-frying. Have you heard this? It’s kind of been my go to cooking oil since quiting canola, but I might need to get in the habit of using coconut oil.

    Reply
    • Laura says

      April 8, 2011 at 6:50 am

      Yes, you’re right. Olive oil is less stable so shouldn’t be used at high temps. I guess I’ve still been using it for stir-frying because I don’t really let it get super hot. I usually just stir around my veggies in the oil, turn down the heat and let them kind of “steam” in the oil, if that makes sense. It probably would be better to do this with coconut oil, but I haven’t worried too much about it since I’m not really “frying” them in the oil.

    I would add some fresh chopped tomatoes (in season) and a bit of lettuce and cheese – all added cold and at the table. It may sound weird, but the cold fresh taste of in-season garden tomatoes pair very nicely with the sweetness the pineapple adds. Some people like the crunchy chow mein noodles too (I don’t like them, so I’m not sure weather or not they would be considered healthy because I don’t buy them to look at the label. I would guess they wouldn’t be GF though.) We call this dish Hawaiian Haystacks and we really enjoy it! Especially with tomatoes! ;O)

Only the shrimp sauce (the pink stuff) I’ve tried to make homemade and I just cant seem to get it right. The storebought kind is loaded with junk. Please!

    Thank you for the recipe! I’ve been craving teriyaki lately and never had a good recipe before this. I made the teriyaki sauce for my family last night. It was super easy and delicious!!! We had it with coconut chicken strips and quinoa. The chicken is like your chicken nuggets but dipped in egg and then dredged in a mixture of coconut flour and unsweetened shredded coconut for crunch and a bit of salt. THen baked in coconut or palm shortening coated pan. It was on a link on the FaithfulProvisions.com website yesterday as there was a coconut flour giveaway from TT advertised yesterday. My whole family loved the chicken nuggets and 5 of 7 loved the teriyaki sauce. Pretty good for our clan. I appreciate your recipes. I check them everyday!
