Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked chicken breast or thighs, diced
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (broccoli, bell peppers, corn)
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese (optional)
  • 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce (plus extra for topping)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Garnish

  • Sesame seeds
  • Sliced green onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine cooked rice, diced chicken, mixed vegetables, beaten eggs, cheese (if using), teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Stir well until evenly combined.
  3. Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin cups, pressing down firmly to pack the ingredients together.
  4. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes until the muffins are set and lightly golden on top.
  5. Cool: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Drizzle additional teriyaki sauce over the muffins, sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, then serve warm.

Notes

  • Use leftover rice and chicken to save time.
  • Substitute vegetables with your favorite mix or whatever you have on hand.
  • To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free soy sauce and teriyaki sauce.
  • Cheese is optional but adds a nice creamy texture.
  • Press the mixture firmly into the muffin tins to ensure the muffins hold their shape.
