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.
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!
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 yum! We love stirfry-type meals at our house. I don’t usually put in pineapples but now that you mention it…sounds delicious! :)
Yum! A simple recipe! Love it!
Mmm….that looks great! We love pineapple in our meals! (mangoes, too! )
I have a bag of frozen stir fry veggies, now to try this, fresh pineapple will raise the bar!
sounds good. I make something like it with steak strips too! yumm
I love it! This sounds so simple to make!
I would add snowpeas!
looks yummy! I’m gonna have to make it sometime! :)
Okay, now this is making me HUNGRY!
I LOVE “method” recipes – it gives me permission to tweak w/o offense! :-)
Thanks for another great recipe – I think I will try your homemade teriyaki sauce and make this over the weekend. :-)
Ooh…this sounds wonderful. I’ve never tried tamari soy sauce. Does it taste basically the same as regular soy sauce, and is it a fermented product? Thanks for sharing another super dinner idea!
I was going to make stir-fry & brown rice tonight anyway… I think I’ll try this!
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!
Yes, it tastes just like regular soy sauce and it is fermented!
Looks yummy! Pineapple sounds so good right now.
I can’t believe I’ve been missing the GF recipe parade this week! Hubby is going GF.
This looks yummy!
This looks delicious, and sounds so simple to make! Thanks for sharing.
yumm ! this looks great ( and simple !!! )
Thank you again for another wonderful meal idea!! God Bless!
Looks great! I made my first batch of your teriyaki sauce the other night and it’s SO good. We’re actually having it for dinner tomorrow night! Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Thank you so much! I need some of this in my life. Very soon!!! Yum!
Yum! It’s been a while since we had stir-fry here…time to go buy some Tamari sauce! Thanks for sharing. :)
I have been making something like this for a while now, but I think the pineapple would be an awesome addition!
All these recipes sound so delicious. It makes the idea of gluten free not seem so difficult!
Awesome! I know what’s for dinner tonight!! YUM!
This is one of my favorite meals to make and eat also. However, my son who is GF just discovered he is also allergic to soy. I haven’t quite figured out how to get that flavor. Any ideas?
This is making me hungry! ;)
I love “throw food together” recipes :) yum, pineapple!
Gotta love stir fry! You can throw just about ANYTHING in it!
O wish my husband liked teriyaki…and cooked veggies because this looks great!
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.
Mmmm, that sounds good!! I think my hubby, who isn’t a big chicken guy, would like this too!! Maybe add some onions, zucchini, squash, broccoli, etc.
This looks awesome! Just made the teriyaki sauce the other night and used it on steak and chicken on the grill. YUMMY!
Looks delicious!
Yum!
Love oriental food that you know doesn’t contain msg and who knows what else. Have been trying “menu-planning” this week, and find it so, so helpful. I can deviate if need be, but love having the “what’s for supper” question handled when I have no ideas otherwise. Again – thanks Laura!
I’m not usually much for teriyaki, but this looks good!
Wow! This looks wonderful.
I was actually thinking of making stir fry tonight as well. This settles it.
Yummy! I will be trying this soon!
I love throw together recipes. That’s how I cook most of the time anyway! Thanks for sharing this tasty looking dish!
Your food looks so good!
Yum. I love pineapple :)
I have some tenderloins in the freezer….hmmmmm I just may have to make a large batch and take for our fellowship meal after church on Sunday.
yummo … we love stir fry!
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.
Heather
Mmmmm, we’ll have to try that!
Oh yummy… This looks wonderful. I really love rice and finding new and fresh ways to cook or serve it is always nice!!
Looks good. Hubby doesn’t care for teriyaki but this might still be worth trying.
Yum! Been lovin the pineapples I got last week for $1 each! :)
This actually looks like a version that my children would like and they have been really picky recently!
Yum! I love teriyaki. I wouldn’t have thought to use some of those veggies. I’ll have to start being more adventurous.
Quick, simple, and gf…
I love stir fry. I’m anxious to try your sauce!
Mmmmm this will be dinner tomorrow night!
This sounds great and easy. I can’t wait to try it.
I am totally trying this…soon!
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.
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.
This sounds yummy!
I would throw in some mushrooms since I lvoe them!
This looks really yummy! I love teriyaki anything! Can’t wait to try this.
Yummy!
This recipe inspired me to make something similar for lunch today with what I had on hand!
Thanks!
This looks delicious!!
This looks and sounds good!
Looks great!
I look forward to testing out the teriykai sauce! My hubby always adds sesame seeds to ours while the flavors meld in the fridge. YUM
This sounds SO good! I am going to try it for dinner tonight I think. We made the Larabars yesterday – the kids loved them! Thanks for the inspiration :)
Blessings,
Courtney
I would love to win a $10 gift certificate…count me in. I have a different teriyaki recipe but will have to check out some soy free tamari sauce…for my gluten free friends.
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)
Looks yummy! We made “Japanese” alot at our house. You know the habatchi style you get at the steakhouses. 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! Please! can you come up with a good recipe for this?
Funny how the “throw-together” rice dishes end up being some of the best! Looks delish as usual :-)
I’ll have to try the sauce, looks good!
Looks super yummy!!
sounds like another great one & would be good to use up leftover meats & veggies getting old.
I’m not a fan of teriyaki, but I think we’ll have to give this a try.
You can add a few red pepper flakes to kick it up a notch. I’ve made it with steak too!
Spinach and maybe some kind of beans for protein so I can use less chicken
This looks like a delicious dinner and I just love brown rice! :o)
teriyaki mmm mmm so good anyway you make it… love it love it love it. thanks for all your great recipes and ideas.. you rock!!
Yum!!
Sounds wonderful!
This recipe looks very yummy! Thank you for offering these giveaways!
looks delightful!
Sounds delish……thanks for the recipe.
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!
Looks super yummy!!! I love meals that can be thrown together from leftovers. We are just now going gluten free so this will be great!
We love love love this recipe. I make it at least 2-3 times a month now, sometimes more. I have made it for a few families from church who had a new baby at home and they raved how great this meal tasted. thanks for an awesome addition to my recipe book.
