  2. Remove the pan from the oven and drizzle with the remaining teriyaki sauce. Serve over rice, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

Feel free to substitute chicken with tofu for a vegetarian option. You can also swap out veggies based on availability—zucchini, snap peas, or bell peppers work well too. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
