Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked jasmine rice

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 cup broccoli florets

1 cup bell peppers, diced (any color)

1 small carrot, sliced thin

1/2 cup green onions, chopped

1 cup shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

2 cloves garlic, minced

Salt and pepper to taste

Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Sauté Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces, and season with salt, pepper, ginger, and garlic. Cook until the chicken is browned, about 5-7 minutes.

      Add Vegetables: Stir in the broccoli, bell peppers, and carrots to the skillet with the chicken. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

        Combine with Sauce: Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Stir well to coat everything, then remove from heat.

          Combine with Rice: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked jasmine rice with the chicken and vegetable mixture. Add half of the green onions and mix until well combined.

            Assemble Casserole: Transfer the rice and chicken mixture to a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish. Spread it evenly. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and sprinkle the remaining green onions on top.

              Bake: Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

                Serve and Garnish: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with sesame seeds before serving.
