BENTO CHICKEN TERIYAKI
This recipe is adapted from one in Bento Boxes by Naomi Kijima. It is scaled for a single lunchbox (bento box) sized serving. Add this to a big bowl of rice and veggies, maybe with some Japanese type pickles, and you have a great lunch! This recipe is not a quick recipe, though; cooking time includes marinating time. I would suggest starting the chicken in the marinade, then starting your rice, then fixing everything else while you wait for these two to finish.

Steps:
- Mix first 3 ingredients together in bowl big enough to hold the chicken. Add the chicken. Let this marinate for 30 minutes, turning over halfway through.
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.
- Take the chicken out and pat dry. Reserve marinade. Put chicken skin side down (if you aren't using skinless) in pan and cook until browned on that side (just a minute or two) and then flip and brown the other side.
- Pour reserved marinade over chicken and cover tightly. Lower heat and simmer until chicken is done, about 5 minutes.
- Remove cover and raise heat back to medium high. Reduce marinade until it is more of a glaze. Toss chicken in glaze to cover.
- NOTE: You could certainly substitute beef or tofu for the chicken in this recipe. Just adjust the cooking accordingly.

BENTO -- TERIYAKI CHICKEN IN A HURRY
This is a quick work night dinner we throw together when we are busy. Tasty and healthy, but best of all, my family will eat it! :) I usually grab a mixed fresh bag of broccoli, cauliflower and carrots when time is short and steam it 3/4 of the way through the rice ( times depend on your individual steamer - mine takes 50 minutes for long grain brown rice so I time the rest of mel accordingly). Brown rice is definitely a heathy choice, a little nutty or firmer in texture, but give them this flavorful dish and they will gulp down the rice and those dreaded veggies! **Kikkoman Teriyaki Baste and Glaze with Honey and Pineapple** is what gives this recipe the ease and flavor.

Steps:
- Steam rice accoring to directions for your steamer. (I use a Krups with multiple bastes so 3/4 way through I can add my veggie basket to steam).
- As rice steams half way through time, grill your chicken breasts.
- When rice is 3/4 of the way cooked, steam your vegetables (at this point, chicken should be almost done).
- Baste chicken with teriyaki glaze, turning once and repeating.
- Remove from heat and allow meat to rest for 5 minutes.
- Plate rice, vegetables and sliced chicken breast.
- Drizzle additional teriyaki sauce as desired.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken. Boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts are the best choices for this recipe, as they are tender and juicy.
- Make sure the chicken is evenly sliced. This will help it cook evenly.
- Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade is what gives the chicken its delicious flavor, so make sure to use a marinade that you like. The recipe in the article uses a simple marinade made with soy sauce, mirin, sake, and brown sugar.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat. This will help prevent the chicken from burning.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. Rice, vegetables, and salad are all great options.
Conclusion:
Bento chicken teriyaki is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. It is also a great meal to pack for lunch or dinner on the go. With a little planning, you can have a delicious and healthy meal ready in no time.
