How To Bake Teriyaki Chicken
Start by preheating your oven to 450°F and spray a 9 x 12 baking dish with olive oil. Then add your prepped carrots and broccoli to the your prepared baking dish and drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Massage the oil and seasonings into the veggies to make sure that they all get coated.

How Long To Bake Chicken Teriyaki
Then brush some simple teriyaki sauce over the top of the chicken. Cover your pan with foil and place it in the middle rack of the oven and let bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked. Cooking times may vary depending on if your oven runs hot. Use an internal meat thermometer to check that the chicken has reached 165°F.

Then remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly. Allowing the chicken time to rest will ensure that you get pieces of juicy chicken in every bite!
