What you Need for Sheet Pan Teriyaki Chicken and Vegetables
Most of the ingredients are for the sauce, making your own teriyaki sauce is the best way to get the most flavor. Its easy to make so keep it this recipe on hand to use in other recipes like stir fry.
- Low sodium soy sauce: This umami sauce creates the base for the teriyaki sauce. It’s a must.
- Honey: How much you add will depend on how sweet you like it.
- Rice wine vinegar: This tangy zingy vinegar is a bit milder than apple and goes perfectly in the sauce.
- Sesame oil: This is a finishing oil, so it will go perfectly as drizzle over the vegetables too.
- Garlic cloves: Mince the garlic so it will release the flavor.
- Grated ginger: Use fresh ginger for the best punch of flavor.
- Cornstarch: Thickener for the sauce.
- Water: You will mix this with the cornstarch so it will dissolve.

- Skinless chicken breasts: cut in half lengthwise (about 1 ½ pounds)

This recipe is going to be easy and fast. Its savory, delicious, and divine.

Tips For Teriyaki Sheet Pan Chicken
This is one of the easiest ways to feed your family. You are going to love how fast this is to make.
- Chicken: This recipe calls for chicken breasts but you can use chicken thighs. The chicken breasts should be the same size and thickness so that they cook evenly.
- Prep Ahead of Time: This is a great recipe to even marinade the ingredients in the sauce for that added flavor. After preparing it ahead of time you will want to leave it in the refrigerator overnight. I would recommend baking it within 24-48 hours of preparing it.
- Meal Planning: This is a great way to have a healthy meal each day! I love meal plans and being able to enjoy them just by microwaving them up for a few minutes and have a delicious meal each day that is healthy and filling. On Sunday I love to prepare this sheet pan meal and divide it into 4 to 6 air-tight containers that I will store in the refrigerator. Each day I will open one up and microwave for about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir it up, then about 2 more minutes in the microwave. You do not want to overheat the chicken or it is too firm. If that chicken already feels warm after the first 3 to 4 minutes adjust the time so it is not overheated in the microwave.
What to Serve with Sheet Pan Teriyaki Chicken
I love a good rice to mix in with the vegetables and Teriyaki chicken. White rice, jasmine rice, brown rice or even wild rice work really well for this meal. Because you have a protein and vegetables all together you only need some fruit and dessert. Here are some ideas.
Vegetable Variations
Roasting vegetables is a wonderful way to eat them. This is a perfect way to use up vegetables from the garden or leftovers from other recipes. Try any of these as substitutes or combinations.
- Asparagus
- Cauliflower
- Green Beans
- Green, Red and Yellow Peppers
- Mushrooms
- Onions
- Snap Peas
- Water Chestnuts
