Instructions
- Heat the 1 tablespoon of 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Preheat the oven to 400 F.

Notes
- The nutrition facts do not include rice.
- For a low-carb option, serve with cauliflower rice.
- If you prefer using boneless chicken thighs, you could use chicken thighs but the nutritional values will change.
- I prefer making the teriyaki sauce from scratch but if you have a favorite brand you like you may use store-bought.
- store leftovers in a container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
