★ Ingredients You'll Need ★
You don't need a long list of ingredients to achieve amazing flavor with this recipe.
Here's a look at everything you'll need:
- Chicken. You can use chicken breasts or boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces.
- Broccoli, bell peppers, and carrots. Fresh is best but if you're in a hurry, you can use frozen veggies.
- Pineapple chunks. These can be cut fresh or you can use canned pineapple to save time.
- Teriyaki sauce is sweetened with honey and red chili pepper flakes are added for a subtle heat creating that sweet n spicy flavor that works so well. If you want to tone down the heat, feel free to reduce the amount of red pepper flakes. You can use your favorite brand of Teriyaki sauce.
- Toasted sesame seeds. Very lightly toasting your seeds adds a really nice flavor and also creates a more crispy texture. You can actually buy sesame seeds already toasted at most grocery stores saving you even more time.
That's everything you need. Very simple yet so flavorful!
Extras
A few optional ingredients I like to include are:
- Water chestnuts. One can, drained. Add them right in with the veggies. They offer a refreshing crunch.
- La Choy Chow Mein Noodles. These are dried crunch noodles. They add a nice crunch. Just sprinkle them on as a finishing garnish, right before serving. Add as many as you'd like.
- Extra sauce. To make more sauce for the rice, you can double the sauce ingredients.

★ Tips & FAQs ★
To customize this recipe and make your own teriyaki sauce: combine soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic paste, ginger paste, and sesame oil in a saucepan. Simmer over low heat until the sugar dissolves, and the sauce thickens slightly.
Yes, you can use store-bought teriyaki sauce for convenience. Choose your favorite brand and adjust the quantity based on your taste preferences.
Yes. Feel free to use your favorite vegetables or those in season. Just ensure they are cut into uniform sizes for even cooking.
Yes, marinating the chicken for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight enhances the flavor. Place the chicken along with vegetables, pineapple, and half the teriyaki sauce in the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature before roasting.
Since teriyaki sauce contains sugar, you have to be careful not to let it burn. This is incorporated into the recipe so be sure to follow the instructions for adding the sauce in stages.
However, if you notice that the teriyaki sauce is starting to caramelize too quickly, you can cover the sheet pan loosely with aluminum foil. This will protect the sauce from direct heat and slow down the browning process.
Serve this sheet pan chicken and veggies over cooked rice, quinoa, or noodles for a complete meal.
For garnish you can drizzle extra teriyaki sauce over the top and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Asian crunchy noodles are a fun topping as well, if you enjoy a little crunch.
This sheet pan teriyaki chicken and vegetables recipe is great for meal prep. Prepare as directed. Let cool then store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat just until warmed using the microwave. Cover with a damp paper towel when heating.
I like to use glass meal prep containers so leftovers or meal-prepped food is easy to reheat right in the same container.
