I almost always use brown rice instead of white. With this recipe I started the rice first, then started working on the chicken. From start to finish this chicken was done in less than 30 minutes. That includes making the sauce, dicing and cooking the chicken and putting the chicken and sauce together and letting it simmer to thicken. The brown rice took 55 minutes from start to finish. It's with dishes like this I start to wonder if I should use white rice since it cooks faster.
No matter what type of rice you use, this is an easy chicken dish that has a delicious homemade teriyaki sauce. Cook up a vegetable and you have a complete meal. No need for take out when you have a recipe like this.
