What ingredients do I need to make this Easy Teriyaki Chicken and Rice Casserole?

  • Cooked medium grain brown or white rice- the calories and point values may vary depending on the kind of rice you use. If you have whole grain rice as a zero point food, you could use brown rice for zero points.
  • Boneless skinless chicken tenders or breasts
  • Low sodium soy sauce- base for the teriyaki glaze
  • Brown sugar-regular and unpacked. I like to just 2 Tbsp of regular brown sugar for the teriyaki glaze which doesn’t impact the overall point value. The regular brown sugar gives this glaze a fabulous sweetness. If you wanted to-you can substitute the brown sugar for Lakanto Golden Monkfruit-however the overall point value would be the same using either one!
  • Honey- for glaze 
  • Garlic-minced
  • Ground ginger- for flavor 
  • Water-to dilute the teriyaki glaze 
  • Cornstarch mixed with 2 Tbsp hot water – this combo is used to thicken the teriyaki glaze 
  • Pre-packaged frozen vegetables stir fry mix- you can find stir fry veggies at any grocery store in the frozen section next to the other frozen vegetables. If you wanted you may use fresh stir-fry for veggies such as: zucchini, broccoli, water chestnuts, snow-peas, mushrooms, corn, bell peppers, and/or onion. 
  • Sesame seeds
