⅔ cup low sodium soy sauce
03 -
⅔ cup + 2 tablespoons water (⅔ cup for sauce, 2 tablespoons for cornstarch slurry)
04 -
½ cup packed light brown sugar
05 -
2 tablespoons seasoned rice wine vinegar
06 -
2 teaspoons grated fresh garlic
07 -
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger

1 teaspoon sesame oil

2 tablespoons cornstarch

28.8 ounces (2 14.4-ounce bags) frozen stir-fry vegetables (steamed according to package directions)
11 -
3 cups cooked white jasmine rice (cooked according to package directions)
# Steps:
01 -
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Place boneless skinless chicken breasts into the prepared baking dish and set aside.
02 -
In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine low sodium soy sauce, ⅔ cup water, light brown sugar, seasoned rice wine vinegar, grated garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Bring to a boil.
03 -
While the sauce is heating, whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons of water and cornstarch in a small bowl to form a slurry.
04 -
Add the cornstarch slurry to the boiling sauce and whisk constantly. Cook for 30-45 seconds until thick and glossy. Remove from heat.
05 -
Pour 1 cup of the prepared teriyaki sauce over the chicken breasts in the baking dish. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
06 -
Remove the baking dish from the oven and discard aluminum foil. Using two forks, shred the chicken directly in the dish. Be cautious as the dish will be hot.
07 -
Add steamed stir-fry vegetables, cooked jasmine rice, and the remaining teriyaki sauce to the baking dish. Stir carefully to combine and spread mixture evenly.
08 -
Return the dish to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through. Optionally, drizzle reserved teriyaki sauce over the top before serving.
