Crispy Teriyaki Chicken Bowls

These Crispy Teriyaki Chicken Bowls are one of my favorite dinners for super busy nights because they’re quick, affordable, and everyone actually gets excited about them. Using frozen crispy chicken keeps this recipe incredibly easy while still tasting like takeout at home.

This is the perfect dinner for those chaotic end-of-school evenings when you need something filling without spending forever cooking. Plus, it’s easy to customize with whatever veggies you already have in the freezer!
