This recipe might just be the quickest, busy-weeknight Asian-inspired entree next to my chicken fried rice. It looks and tastes like I worked to make it happen, but the secret sauce to my efficiency is really in the store-bought rotisserie chicken breast and bottled Teriyaki sauce.

Well, those, along with my precooked brown rice, which I almost always have on hand. And when I don't, my Instant Pot makes it on-demand.

2) Teriyaki Chicken and Rice

Key ingredients

  • oil - avocado oil is my favorite, high heat oil

  • green onions
  • cooked chicken - use store bought rotisserie chicken or Instant Pot shredded chicken breast or air fryer chicken breast.
  • Teriyaki sauce - packaged or homemade Teriyaki.
  • cooked rice - use stove-cooked, rice cooker, or Instant Pot brown rice. Use any variety of brown rice for this recipe.

Can I use white rice or brown rice in fried rice?

Both! You simply replace the cooked brown rice with white rice. For me, I prefer brown rice when eating fried rice because it's more hearty and nutritious.

I think of it as secretly healthy because nobody ever knows they're eating brown rice. It's also one of my favorite Sunday prep items.

You can use a rice cooker or Instant Pot which does all the work for us while we’re knocking out other kitchen tasks.

Does fried rice make good leftovers?

Heck yeah! Like most cooked foods, it's even better the second day! To reheat, you can microwave it or pan sauté it again until warmed through.

    This recipe of fried brown rice with teriyaki chicken has come up at the right time. Just yesterday my son asked me to teach him how to make a quick meal - fried rice. It sounds delicious! I especially love the way you cut vegetables in small equal pieces. Great job! Thanks for sharing!
