My Long-Standing Love Affair with Tastefully Simple Products
My personal journey with Tastefully Simple began shortly after graduating college, and I’ve been completely captivated by their innovative and flavorful products ever since. Their Beer Bread Mix quickly became a legendary staple in my pantry, a simple pleasure that always impressed. I still rave about its effortless perfection and the joy it brings to any meal. Over the years, the company has expanded its offerings dramatically, consistently innovating with new products that continue to impress and simplify meal preparation. From convenient baking mixes that yield impressive results to an extensive array of spices and expertly crafted spice blends, they truly have everything you need to make cooking at home a joyous, stress-free, and incredibly flavorful experience. It’s truly exciting to see a brand evolve and grow while staying so faithfully true to its core mission of ease and quality, making great food accessible to everyone.
Crafting Your Perfect Honey Teriyaki Chicken Bowl: Versatility and Flavor
These Honey Teriyaki Chicken Bowls are the epitome of an easy dinner solution, proving that quick meals can still be bursting with gourmet flavor. They offer incredible versatility, allowing you to customize them to your family’s preferences and whatever fresh ingredients you happen to have on hand. The foundational elements are simple: tender chicken and that irresistible honey teriyaki sauce, served over a bed of fluffy rice. But the possibilities for personalization are truly endless, ensuring your dinner is never dull.
Serving Suggestions & Delicious Variations:
- Rice, Your Way: While classic white rice is always a winner, feel free to experiment. Brown rice offers a wonderfully nutty flavor and a boost of whole grains and fiber, while cauliflower rice is an excellent low-carb and vegetable-packed alternative. You could even use quinoa for a complete protein source, adding another layer of texture and nutrition to your bowl.
- Transform into Noodle Bowls: For a delightful and equally quick twist, easily transform this recipe into teriyaki chicken noodle bowls. Simply serve the succulent chicken and rich sauce over your favorite cooked noodles. Ramen, lo mein, udon, or even thin spaghetti can work beautifully, absorbing all that delicious sauce.
- Vibrant Vegetable Pairings: Enhance your bowl with a rainbow of healthy vegetables. Steamed or roasted broccoli florets, tender sugar snap peas, or crisp green beans are excellent choices that cook quickly and add essential nutrients. For a more integrated veggie addition, try sautéing sliced zucchini and colorful bell peppers (red, yellow, orange work great!) directly in the pan with the chicken towards the end of its cooking time. This creates a quick, satisfying stir-fry effect right in your skillet. Other fantastic options include shredded carrots, thinly sliced bok choy, or even a handful of fresh spinach wilted directly into the warm sauce.
- Garnish & Extra Toppings: Beyond a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds (which adds a lovely texture and nutty flavor), consider adding a handful of freshly chopped green onions (scallions) for a burst of freshness and mild onion flavor. For those who enjoy a little heat, a dash of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of sriracha can elevate the dish. A squeeze of fresh lime juice just before serving can also brighten all the flavors beautifully.
What truly distinguishes Tastefully Simple’s Honey Teriyaki Sauce from many generic bottled alternatives is its superior quality and delightful texture. Often, store-bought teriyaki sauces can be disappointingly thin and overly salty, leaving much to be desired. This sauce, however, is wonderfully thick, boasting a rich, glossy consistency that clings perfectly to every piece of chicken. It features a perfectly balanced sweetness derived from real honey, complementing the savory notes without being cloying. This unique flavor profile struck a major chord with my family, becoming an instant favorite, and I’ve already made plans to stock up on several more bottles. It genuinely elevates a simple chicken dish into something special and satisfying without adding any extra effort, making it ideal for those hectic evenings when you still want to enjoy a delicious, homemade meal together with loved ones.

Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes for quick cooking
- 1/2 cup Tastefully Simple® Honey Teriyaki Sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds, for garnish
- 2 cups rice, cooked according to package directions
- Optional: 1 tbsp cooking oil, e.g., vegetable, olive, or sesame oil
- Optional: Steamed edamame, broccoli, or sautéed bell peppers/zucchini, for serving
Instructions
-
In a large skillet or wok, heat a tablespoon of oil (such as vegetable or olive oil) over medium-high heat. Add the cubed chicken breast and brown it on all sides until it’s almost cooked through and lightly golden, which usually takes about 5-7 minutes. Ensure there’s no pink left on the outside.
-
Reduce the heat to medium. Carefully pour in the Tastefully Simple Honey Teriyaki Sauce and stir well to ensure all the chicken pieces are thoroughly coated in the rich, glossy sauce. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly to your desired consistency. If you’re adding quick-cooking vegetables like sliced bell peppers or zucchini, stir them in during the last 3-4 minutes of cooking with the sauce to ensure they are tender-crisp.
-
Serve the delicious honey teriyaki chicken immediately over your prepared fluffy cooked rice. For an added touch of flavor and visual appeal, garnish generously with sesame seeds and any additional desired toppings, such as chopped green onions or a side of steamed vegetables like edamame or broccoli. Enjoy your quick, flavorful, and satisfying homemade meal!
