With just 5 minutes of prep and only 5 ingredients, this Dump-and-Bake Chicken Teriyaki is an easy, family-friendly dinner for busy nights! Tender, juicy chicken bakes in a rich, sweet-and-savory sauce for a complex dish that tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen. Served with rice and plenty of steamed vegetables, this healthy dinner is a simple way to bring the family together at the end of the day — without much effort on your part!
We’re all busy, and at the end of a stressful day we still have to get dinner on the table. That’s why I keep my pantry stocked with our favorite ingredients to make last-minute meals quick and easy — no extra work necessary. I like to call these “dump-and-bake” dinners, and they are seriously lifesavers on crazy evenings. My latest concoction — this Dump-and-Bake Chicken Teriyaki — is about as simple (and flavorful) as it gets. Just 5 ingredients, you guys!
Chicken, Broccoli, Bell Pepper, Onion, and Soy Vay Veri Veri Teriyaki Sauce.Â
If you’re a regular blog reader, then you know that this is my very favorite Teriyaki Sauce. I often recommend it in my recipes because it’s the best! I can easily pick up the Soy Vay Veri Veri Teriyaki Marinade & Sauce at Target (in the oriental grocery aisle), it’s a simple way to add flavor to a meal, and it’s so much thicker and richer than other similar sauces that I have tried.
The sauce is perfect for marinating grilled seafood, for flavoring a stir-fry, and for baking Chicken Teriyaki in the oven. Plus, it uses only quality ingredients — no preservatives and no additives…ever!
For this particular meal, you literally just place the chicken and veggies in a baking dish:
and then pour the teriyaki sauce over top.
I like to remove the cover during the final 10-15 minutes of cooking to allow the sauce to thicken and to get the chicken a little bit crisp on the outside.
The chicken teriyaki is delicious served with rice and additional veggies that I can steam in the microwave while the chicken cooks. It’s such a simple meal that will nourish your family, bring smiles to your children’s faces, and make you feel like a Super Mom. The secret is in the sauce!

Dump-and-Bake Chicken Teriyaki
Ingredients
- 4-6 small boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 4 ounces each)
- 1 ¼ cups Soy Vay Veri Veri Teriyake Marinade
- 2 cups broccoli florets*
- 1 red bell pepper chopped
- 1 cup chopped onion**
- Optional for serving: cooked rice additional vegetables, sliced green onion
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Spray a large baking dish (I used a deep 11 x 7-inch dish) with cooking spray.
- Sprinkle chicken with a little bit of salt and pepper, to taste.
- Place vegetables in the bottom of the prepared dish. Add chicken to the dish, pour teriyake marinade over top, and toss to coat.
- Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Uncover, stir, and return to the oven uncovered for 10-15 more minutes, or until meat thermometer reads 165 degrees F. If you’re using larger chicken breasts you will need to extend the cooking time by about 10-15 minutes.
- Serve chicken, vegetables, and sauce over rice.
Recipe Notes
* For an easy short-cut, look for pre-chopped vegetables in the produce section of the grocery store. You can even pick up diced peppers and broccoli florets from the salad bar!** I keep a bag of store-bought frozen diced onion in my freezer for recipes like this one -- no chopping required!

This looks SO delicious – such an easy and delicious dinner! Can’t ever go wrong with chicken teriyaki, right?!
I totally agree — it’s always a safe bet! Thanks so much, Rachel!
This sounds easy but yummy my kind of meal! I need a recipe for a shrimp dish with the teriyaki sauce or marinade.
Thanks so much, Mildred! I hope that you get to try it!
That’s as easy as it gets – and a total 10 on the delicious scale! Love this yummy dinner, Blair, and love that this sauce is free of preservatives. And that calorie count ! Yay! Sharing 🙂
Thank you so much, Robyn! I appreciate the share, and I agree — the ingredients are great and the taste is amazing! 🙂
I’ve not heard of ‘Soy Vay Veri Veri Teriyaki Marinade’. Is it found in most grocery stores or Asian specialty stores? Thank you.
Oh, it’s the best! You can find it in just about any grocery store. Target (obviously), but also in your regular neighborhood grocer! Definitely seek it out. 🙂
Chicken teriyaki is a favorite of mine, so I can only imagine how delicious this dump and bake version is! Love how easy it is, too!
Thanks, Gayle! I agree — it has always been a favorite because I love that sweet and salty combo! 🙂
Obsessed with the Teriyaki sauce!! This looks great! Pinning 🙂
Thanks so much for the pin, Tawnie! Isn’t that sauce amazing? I’m a HUGE fan!
Tried it tonight. Insanely salty. Unfortunately had to throw it all out.
Yum! This looks so so good! Jesse’s all time favourite asian marinade is teriyaki so he would love this!
Thanks, Kristy! We love teriyaki sauce too!
That’s a lot of sodium
Hi Blair, I made this Dump & Bake Chicken Teriyaki for our Sunday dinner and thought it was really good. I didn’t find it over salty at all. Absolutely delicious!! I see what you mean by the sauce is thicker & richer than other marinades. I was able to find it at my local Market Basket and we did like it. I did see another brand that is lower in sodium, may try it next time just to cut down on the sodium a bit. Will definitely be making again!!
That’s great, Annette! Thank you so much for your note! 🙂
Made this tonight and it was amazing! I substituted green beans for the broccoli and I also added some minced garlic to the sauce. My 3 year old LOVED it which is a major plus in my house! It won’t let me click on the stars, but definitely 5 stars!
Hi, Lauren! I’m so glad that it was a hit! Thanks for letting me know. Getting the approval of a 3-year-old is always high praise! 🙂
This was a hit at my house last night. Thank you!
Awesome! I’m so glad to hear that, Karla! Thanks! 🙂
Made this tonight. Was super easy Will definitely do this again!
Yay! Thanks for letting me know, Robyn!
