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.

Next, place the chicken breasts on top of the veggies and season with some more kosher salt and pepper.

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!

Once the dish has cooled a bit, add any extra of your own homemade teriyaki sauce that you have leftover.  

This dish is delicious as is…

But feel free to serve it over the top of white rice, brown rice, or cauliflower rice.
