32 oz unsauced frozen Asian vegetable mix

# Steps to Make It:
01 -
Combine soy sauce, water, brown sugar, honey, olive oil, ginger, and garlic in a small pot. Stir well and heat it on medium until it starts to boil. Keep covered while cooking.
02 -
Stir together cornstarch and water in a separate little bowl. Pour this mix slowly into the boiling sauce, stirring constantly until it thickens up. Set it aside for later.
03 -
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lay chicken breasts in a 9×13 dish. Pour about 1 cup of the sauce over the chicken to coat it well. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the inside reaches 165°F (74°C). Shred into small pieces right in the dish.
04 -
While the chicken's baking, prepare the frozen veggies by steaming or cooking them according to what the package says. Also, cook your brown rice just like the instructions on its package say.
05 -
In the baking dish, mix shredded chicken, the cooked veggies, pineapple bits, and rice. Pour most of the leftover teriyaki sauce in, saving a little for a topping. Combine everything well and bake again at 350°F for 15 minutes until warmed through. Once done, drizzle the last of the sauce on top before serving.
