When it comes to quick and satisfying dinners, stir-fry is hard to beat. This Grilled Teriyaki Chicken Stir-Fry takes that weeknight staple to the next level by adding a smoky depth from grilled chicken and coating everything in a glossy, homemade teriyaki sauce.
The star of the dish is the chicken, marinated in a simple mix of soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and a splash of honey or brown sugar. Let it soak up those flavors for at least 30 minutes before tossing it on the grill. The slight char from the grill adds a smoky contrast that balances perfectly with the sweetness of the sauce.
While the chicken grills, prep your vegetables. Bell peppers, broccoli, snap peas, and carrots are all excellent choices, adding crunch and color. A quick stir-fry in a hot pan ensures they stay vibrant and crisp-tender. For extra flavor, sauté the veggies with a bit of sesame oil and fresh garlic.
Once the chicken is grilled and sliced, toss it back into the pan with the veggies and pour in your teriyaki sauce. You can use store-bought sauce for ease, but making your own is simple and so much better — just a blend of soy sauce, mirin or rice vinegar, honey or brown sugar, garlic, and ginger, simmered until thickened.
Let everything bubble together for a minute or two so the sauce coats every bite. Serve it over steamed rice, noodles, or even cauliflower rice if you’re going low-carb. A sprinkle of sesame seeds and sliced green onions on top adds a fresh, nutty finish.
This dish checks all the boxes, quick, healthy, and bursting with flavor. It’s ideal for busy weeknights and easily customizable based on what’s in your fridge. Plus, the grilled chicken makes it feel a little special, without any extra fuss.
Whether you’re cooking for your family or meal prepping for the week, this Grilled Teriyaki Chicken Stir-Fry brings bold flavor to the table in under 30 minutes.

Simple and quick recipe! Love it! Great for a busy weeknight meal. 🌟
Might be good for some people, but chicken always drys out on me. Tried this but it was dry like the sahara. 2/5
I think if you avoid overcooking the chicken it won’t dry out. Maybe try lower heat next time? 4/5
Honestly, I don’t trust the chicken grilling methods. Sometimes it’s just better to bake it in the oven, less chance of desert chicken! 3/5
Yum!! I added some sesame seeds and it was a hit! Definitely making this again.
Sesame seeds? That’s a cool idea! I should try that next time. Thanks for the tip!
Grilled chicken and veggies? Sounds like a diet food! Not my style. Where’s the cheese? 1 star.
You can always add cheese yourself! Cheese makes everything better. 😄
This recipe is fantastic! The chicken was so juicy and full of flavor. My whole family loved it! 5 stars!
Easy to make but I used way too much garlic 😅. Gonna try it again with less!
Garlic can definitely overpower things! Maybe try just a pinch next time. 😄
I thought the marinade was too sweet. Next time, I’ll reduce the honey. Still good though.
