Chicken Teriyaki Bento

TGIF! How was your week? I cannot believe we are already at the end of September. Didn’t schools just start not long ago? Just like any other families with children, I sometimes find it difficult to prepare dinner with everything that’s going on. I cook dinner almost everyday, so quick and easy recipe like Chicken Teriyaki comes in handy. It’s especially tasty with the homemade sauce.

If your rice cooker has a timer, you can wash rice and set it to be ready for your dinner time. I defrost chicken in the morning before I drop off my children at schools. And when I come home for lunch after picking up my daughter, I quickly marinade the meat. If you are working full-time, you might have to plan ahead so that you can marinade the chicken before going to work.

About 40 minutes prior to dinner time, you can start cooking the chicken. While you are doing so, you can make quick Miso Soup and simple salad. If you still have some time, you can make another quick side dish like Sunomono (Cucumber Salad). There you go, healthy homemade food!

I wish everyone a fantastic weekend. I definitely need to catch up some sleep as well as some blogging work, and of course have some fun with my family. Enjoy!

Chicken Teriyaki (I used chicken thigh WITHOUT skin this time), and quick side dish Sunomono (Cucumber Salad).
