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!
Here's What You Need To Make It
- Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
- Broccoli Florets
- Onion
- Bell Pepper
- Teriyaki Marinade
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!
How To Make Dump And Bake Chicken Teriyaki
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.
Serving Suggestions
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 425F (220C). 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.
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!

I've not heard of 'Soy Vay Veri Veri Teriyaki Marinade'. Is it found in most grocery stores or Asian specialty stores? Thank you.
Blair
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. 🙂

That's a lot of sodium
Annette Burdick
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!!
Blair
That's great, Annette! Thank you so much for your note! 🙂
Lauren
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!
Blair
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! 🙂
Karla Hamilton
This was a hit at my house last night. Thank you!
Blair
Awesome! I'm so glad to hear that, Karla! Thanks! 🙂
Robyn
Made this tonight. Was super easy Will definitely do this again!
Blair
Yay! Thanks for letting me know, Robyn!
Susie
Can this be made in a slow cooker?
Blair
Hey, Susie! Yes, I think it would probably work fine in the slow cooker. If you want a Teriyaki Chicken recipe that's specifically designed for the slow cooker, you can try this recipe, too: https://www.theseasonedmom.com/healthy-slow-cooker-teriyaki-chicken-ginger-bok-choy-salad/
Enjoy!
Laura
Does the carb and calorie count include the optional rice?
Blair
Hi, Laura! It doesn't include the optional rice, since I don't have any specific quantities of rice to measure in the recipe. That part's totally up to you. 🙂
Alyssa F
Hi Blair!
I just wanted to thank you for including the nutrient list on your recipes. In particular for the carbohydrates and the breakdown of fiber to actual sugars; as well as the fat content and break down of the different fats as well. It's very helpful for someone like me who is trying to get into the ketogenic lifestyle to improve my health. I will be trying this recipe out tonight. Keep the low-carb meals coming and have a great evening!
Blair
Hi, Alyssa! So good to hear from you! I'm glad that you're enjoying the recipes and that you find the nutrition information helpful. It's an extra step in calculating, but I know that you're not alone in appreciating that information. I'm so impressed by how much you've been cooking recently, since I know that you said you were new to the kitchen. You'll be a pro soon enough! 🙂
Alyssa F
Hey Blair,
I feel so honored that you remember me haha! I'm learning slowly but surely and I owe most of it to you and your blog/recipes! They are so easy for a beginner like me to understand. I made this recipe for dinner last night and it was delicious! The best food I have made by far. I used chicken thighs because I couldn't find small enough chicken breasts and it turned out great after a bit longer cooking as you recommended. I just subscribed recently so you can expect to see me around! Thank you for always answering my questions and I hope you and your fam have a great rest of your week!
Blair
Awesome! So glad that you liked this meal, Alyssa! Another one to add to your collection. 🙂

I have been trying to be better at getting healthy, homemade dinners in the freezer for busy days. This Teriyaki Chicken sounded great but fell extremely short. The chicken was flavorful and tender however the vegetables were way overcooked and despite mixing well in a separate bowl and then filling my casserole dish there were pockets of uncooked rice and overcooked rice. Sounded great but it was too good to be true. Leftovers went into the trash!
Jen
Looks like I reviewed the wrong recipe! My review is for Baked Teriyaki Chicken Vegetables and Rice. Rice on the side is definitely a better idea!
Rae Nikolai
This would go great with WHACK green beans...since you already have using the oven.
Blair
Definitely! 🙂
Rae Nikolai
Rice is ALWAYS in microwave 2 cups water 1 cup rice 12 minutes... I use a mug (1 1/2 cups) and up time to 15 minutes.
PERFECT every time and done when stir fry is done.
Lois C
My second time making this,the first time was with no veggies, but i have them this time. Grandkids love the chicken teriyaki, and I love how easy it is! Will be made here often! Thanks!
Blair
Awesome! Thanks, Lois!
