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.

- Serve the stir-fry over cooked rice and sprinkle with chopped green onions.
- Enjoy!
Honestly, I don’t get why people grill chicken then throw it in a stir-fry—just feels like extra steps. But yeah, it tasted decent.
Yummy! The snap peas were a nice touch. Thank you for sharing!
Ok not gonna lie the ingredient list is pretty intense 😅 but it worked. I had no ginger so I used ground ginger and it was still fine. Sauce was glossy.
Ingredient list IS a lot 😅 but honestly the mix of soy + honey + ginger is the secret sauce. Good call using ground ginger.
I love when it turns out glossy like that! 😄 I’ve made teriyaki stir-fry before and it’s always hit or miss—yours sounds spot on.
I didn’t really like this. The teriyaki sauce was too sweet for me.
Simple and quick recipe! Love it! Great for a busy weeknight meal. 🌟
Really good but I added some pineapple for sweetness. It really elevated the dish!
This is solid, but 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce + 2 tbsp soy + 1 tbsp honey felt a little too sweet for me. Next time I’ll cut the honey in half. Still, the chicken stayed juicy.
Loved it! My kids ate all their veggies for once. Thanks for sharing!
Loved it! But why do we need graded carrot? Just cut them in squares! My way is easier!
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
I think I left out the ginger by accident. It still turned out decent. 🤷♂️
This recipe is hard! I don’t understand how to grill chicken. What’s the difference between teriyaki and soy sauce?
Eh. Not my cup of tea. Chicken was too chewy for me. Maybe I overcooked it?
Is teriyaki sauce and soy sauce the same thing? I’m confused. Can I just use one?
Teriyaki sauce has soy sauce in it, but they’re not exactly the same. It’s sweeter and thicker. Use both for the best flavor!
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!
My marinade smelled amazing, but I think I marinated too long (like 30 min) and the chicken got a little “soft” texture. Otherwise tasty and easy.
Grilled chicken stir fry? Sounds fancy but really easy. Great for weeknights!
Sounds kinda fancy, but can I just use any sauce? Like, what if I don’t have teriyaki?
This sounds delicious! I’ll definitely try it this week. Thanks for sharing!
I tried to make this but failed. My chicken burnt. Anyone got tips?
Easy and tasty! Great recipe for busy weeknights. Thanks!
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. 😄
