I'm all about recreating our favorite take out dishes at home. It’s a lot easier than you think and is more healthy and cost effective. I’ve recreated a few of our other favorites too, like sweet and sour chicken, fried rice and instant pot orange chicken. Yum!

Baked covered for 25 minutes and then take the foil off and continue cooking for about 15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside (165 degrees).
Meanwhile, cook the rice and stir fry vegetables. Take chicken out and let cool while you prepare the teriyaki chicken bowl. Add rice to the bottom of the bowls, then a layer of vegetables. Slice up your chicken and layer on top. Drizzle with remaining teriyaki sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Enjoy!
