Quick & Easy Chicken Teriyaki Bowl

Weeknight Dinner Idea: Quick & Easy Chicken Teriyaki Bowl | Mama Harris' KitchenWhen I first started my little corner on the internet almost 4 years ago, I often shared easy dinners for families. To this date, a few of those are still the recipes that are heavily visited on this site. It’s no wonder, no matter how many meals I make or how many recipes I’ve added to my arsenal, sometimes I’m still clueless of what to make for dinner.

Even folks that don’t cook at home have a hard time choosing where to eat dinner at, so of course figuring out what to make is always going to be a never-ending question.

Luckily I do have a few recipes of my own that I keep in rotation when I’m short on time. Recipes like my pan-fried tilapia,  my baked boneless chicken, or goulash and garlic bread to name a few. One meal that my family always enjoys is this chicken teriyaki bowl. It’s quick and easy, ready in 30 minutes or less, and it’s tasty and satisfying. Isn’t that what we all love in a weeknight family meal?

Weeknight Dinner Idea: Quick & Easy Chicken Teriyaki Bowl | Mama Harris' KitchenI’ve been making this meal for a few years now, tweaking a bit here and there. This recipe is a result of my favorite findings, however you’re able to add any changes. It’s quite adaptable. As written this recipe uses boneless skinless chicken breast tenderloins, but you could use thigh meat instead. I use whatever we have. Remember, this is not an authentic teriyaki chicken meal, it’s inspired! You can use Oregano or basil in place of the marjoram, and regular salt or pepper in place of the Himalayan pink salt or the white pepper. You can add ground ginger or switch up the veggies with others, it’s totally up to you!

I’ve also used a few brands on teriyaki sauce, but I really enjoy the Soy Vay marinade and sauce. I like that it has sesame seeds in the sauce, but if you have another sauce you prefer then by all means use it!

Weeknight Dinner Idea: Quick & Easy Chicken Teriyaki Bowl | Mama Harris' KitchenWhat I really love about this meal is that my entire family enjoys it. My older boys love it, my husband gets seconds and sometimes thirds, and even the younger boys like it. I make the chicken and veggies in separate pans because my daughter is meatless, so she just used the rice and veggies with a bit of sauce and she’s happy with that too.

Ingredients for a Quick & Easy Chicken Terriyaki Bowl:

  • 2 cups cooked long grain white rice
  • prepared chicken teriyaki (see recipe below)
  • sautéed veggies (see recipe below)

Ingredients for Chicken Teriyaki:

  • 1/2 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried onion flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram flakes
  • 1/2 cup Teriyaki Sauce

Ingredients for Sautéed Veggies

  • 1/2 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 medium carrots, peeled and cut into thin strips about 2 inches long
  • 2 heads of fresh broccoli, stems cut off
  • salt and pepper
  • juice of one medium lemon

Weeknight Dinner Idea: Quick & Easy Chicken Teriyaki Bowl | Mama Harris' KitchenReduce heat to a simmer and let it cook, stirring occasionally, while you prepare the veggies.

Weeknight Dinner Idea: Quick & Easy Chicken Teriyaki Bowl | Mama Harris' KitchenIn a separate sauté pan, add the butter and oil over medium heat and add the carrots first. Let them soften a bit before adding the broccoli. Once you add the broccoli, add the seasonings and let stir till the broccoli turns a bright green and isn’t as crunchy. Once broccoli is ready, remove the veggies from the heat as well as the chicken.

Weeknight Dinner Idea: Quick & Easy Chicken Teriyaki Bowl | Mama Harris' KitchenAdd some of the rice to a bowl, top with a bit of veggies and then the chicken. Spoon a bit of the sauce over the bowl as well, if desired.

    Perfect timing! My daughter recently tried teriyaki chicken at a restaurant and asked if I could make it. Funny enough with all the cooking I do I do NOT yet have a recipe for teriyaki chicken. Yours looks great and I can’t wait to try it!

    I’m not typically a big meat eater, but I LOVE chicken teriyaki. The fact that this meal take 10 minutes of prep time has made this recipe my new favorite! I have some chicken in the freezer I’m going to take out tonight and I’m going to make this tomorrow 🙂

      Oh no, did you try it? You can always use a different brand with low sodium and less salt to season the chicken.

(AD) There has been a lot of cooking going on this year, so I’ve tried to make life a bit easier by getting creative with my leftovers. These pulled pork totchos are a great example of leftovers with a few key ingredients to create something new to keep our meals exciting. Adding a few key ingredients like @lamorenausa adobo peppers and jalapeños and carrots definitely livens up something simple. La Morena peppers are hand selected, using only the highest quality peppers to bring you authentic home style flavors of Mexico. I purchased my La Morena items from my local Safeway, but you can find them at your favorite grocery store in the international food section. #PayItForwardwithLM #VivaLaMorena #WeCanWithLaMorena 
 
INGREDIENTS:
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend + Pepper Jack)
- 2 cups prepared bbq pulled pork (check my pulled pork sliders recipe!)
- 1/2 can La Morena Adobo Peppers & Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sour cream 
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup pico de Gallo
- 1/2 cup guacamole
- 3 chopped green onions 
- 3-4 La Morena jalapeños and carrots, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare tater tots as instructed, in air fryer or oven. Heat oven to 450°. 
Cover the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with the cooked tater tots. 
Top with 1 1/2 cup of cheese. 
Combine the chopped adobo peppers and sauce with the prepared bbq pulled pork. Spread the pulled pork mixture on top of the tater tots, then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream, ranch, pico de Gallo, guacamole, green onions, and sliced jalapeños and carrots.

Enjoy!! 😋

This year I’ve created Cranberry Pistachio Citrus Cookies to share as my contribution. 🍪 I know that a lot of things have turned “virtual” throughout this year, but a little virtual bake-off is a fun way to connect with some of your favorite people!

Hello Instagram fam! 💖 There’s some new faces around here and it’s been a while since I showed mine!

I’m Dawn, creator of Mama Harris’ Kitchen, and I’m so glad you’re here with me! In this space I share my family-friendly recipes for all occasions, whether it be a 30-minute meal for those busy weeknight dinners or a full spread for entertaining a crowd - and everything in between.

Mama Harris’ Kitchen began back in 2012, in fact it’s 8 years this month! 🥳  What started as a way to document my newfound cooking hobby while managing my “new” life as a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 1 and 3 year along with teens and preteens, and it quickly grew into what it is now - a recipe resource for busy families like mine that enjoy flavorful and comforting home-cooking using pantry staples along with fresh and local ingredients as often as possible. 

🍿Five fun facts about me:
1. I LOVE elephants! 🐘 I collect a lot of elephant items, whether it’s trinkets or  artwork, notepads etc. I love what elephants symbolize and I truly love anything elephant related.
2. I’m a total plant lady! 🌱 I have about 35 houseplants, give or take, and there’s still more on the list of wants. Plants have become such a peaceful outlet for me, and I feel that they really center me within my space. I love the element plants bring to your space and the feel of your home with them in it, and new leaves are so exciting!
3. I have seven tattoos and I have plans for about eight more. 💉 Those that know me aren’t surprised, but those that follow me here tend to find it a bit surprising. 🙃
4. I’ve been a mother for a long time, over half my life! I’ve also been a lot of different “types” of mom - teen mom, single mom, working mom, stepmom, stay at home mom, PROUD mom, military mom, mother in law - the list goes on. No matter what, motherhood looks different for everyone and there’s unique challenges and experiences each mother faces. Please be gentle with yourself! ❤️At the end of the day we’re all just trying our best!
5. I’m a bit of an introvert, and often struggle with the “social” aspect of social media. I tend to go silent sometimes, but I’m working on it.

☀️Thank you for joining me here!
