Tips and Variations For Sheet Pan Teriyaki Chicken With Vegetables
This sheet pan recipe is one of the easiest ways to feed your family. Make it just the way they like it by using any vegetables you have on hand. 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 marinate 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.
Vegetables: Experiment with any vegetables your family likes! Try asparagus, cauliflower, green beans, mushrooms, or snap peas. So many options!
More Add-Ins: I love adding delicious textures like water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, or edamame!
Storing Leftovers
This sheet pan teriyaki chicken with vegetables makes delicious leftovers for lunch the next day. It’s also great for meal prep! Follow my steps below for storing and reheating leftovers.
In the Refrigerator: Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
To Reheat: Reheat in the microwave for 2 minutes before stirring it around and heating it for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fully heated. Try to avoid overheating the chicken or it will end up rubbery.
In the Freezer: Freeze the chicken in one bag and the vegetables in another. Add the sauce to a small bag and store all of them in a large freezer bag or in an airtight container.
To Cook From Frozen: You can cook everything directly from frozen, but it will leave some extra liquid in the pan. For the chicken to be fully cooked from frozen you should anticipate an extra 5-10 minutes of cooking time. If you have time, I recommend thawing the chicken and sauce in the refrigerator overnight before cooking, though you can use the vegetables frozen or thawed.
