Ingredients

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
   Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to fully preheat.
2. Layer the Rice and Sauce
   In a 9×13-inch baking dish, spread the uncooked rice evenly across the bottom. Pour in the chicken broth and teriyaki sauce, stirring gently to combine with the rice.
3. Brown the Chicken
   Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced chicken and sauté until browned on all sides (it doesn’t need to be fully cooked yet). Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper as it cooks.
4. Combine Ingredients
   Add the browned chicken, broccoli florets, and carrot slices to the baking dish with the rice mixture. Distribute everything evenly.
5. Bake Covered
   Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through, the liquid is absorbed, and the chicken is done.
6. Finish Uncovered
   Remove the foil and, if using, sprinkle sesame seeds over the top. Bake uncovered for another 5 minutes to lightly toast the seeds and let excess moisture cook off.
7. Let It Rest and Serve
   Allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps the flavors meld and the rice settle. Top with chopped green onions and serve warm.
