Not gonna lie, I was skeptical about using only bell peppers and onion—turns out it’s fine. Garlic smell filled my kitchen immediately.
Omg the sesame/green onion garnish makes it look restaurant-y. My family asked when I was making it again lol.
Super easy to make! I didn’t have soy sauce so I used ketchup. Still tasted great!
This turned out so flavorful—sweet, savory, and the bell peppers stayed nice and crisp. I served it with rice and it was gone fast. Would definitely make again!
Yumm! Made this last night and it’s a keeper. Will definitely make again.
Sounds delish! But isn’t teriyaki sauce just soy sauce with sugar? Not very special, right?
I tried it too! So good and easy to make. My kids loved it!
Tastes good but was a bit too saucy for my liking. Next time, I’ll cut down on the teriyaki sauce.
I totally agree! I find teriyaki sauce can be overpowering sometimes. Reducing it a bit might be the way to go next time! 👍
Yummm!
I liked the balance, but I’d cut the chicken a bit thinner next time to make sure it cooks evenly faster.
Didnt like this. The sauce was too sweet for my taste. Meh.
I don’t know, I thought it was kinda bland. Maybe more spices would help?
Wow. Sesame seeds + green onions on top is such a small step but it makes it look restaurant-y.
Where’s the pineapple? You need pineapple for teriyaki, duh!
Pro tip: add more honey for a sweeter taste! Thanks for the recipe!
Wow, this was so good! The teriyaki sauce made it amazing!
Teriyaki sauce? Isn’t that super sweet? I don’t know if I would like it…
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! The sauce really does bring the dish to life! 😊
I’m not usually a “hash” person, but the mix of teriyaki + soy + honey is legit. Next time I’ll slice the chicken a bit thinner so it finishes even quicker.
Made this tonight and it was super flavorful. The honey + soy/teriyaki combo really caramelized in the pan.
Huh, I followed it but mine didn’t caramelize like that. I think my heat was too low? Also, I used “teriyaki sauce” but next time I’ll try more soy to match the flavors. Still tasty though.
Yes!! I made this too and the honey + teriyaki combo caramelizes so nicely in the skillet. My peppers stayed a little crisp and it was super flavorful overall.
One word: delicious.
This is a pretty good weeknight idea. I used what I had (red pepper + onion) and it worked.
My kids didn’t like it, they are picky eaters tho. But I loved it!
Easy recipe! I like bell peppers, but can I use other veggies?
Of course! You can use any veggies you like. Zucchini or carrots would be great too!
Not sure how that would taste, but I guess you can try… maybe just stick to bell peppers?
I followed it exactly and it turned out great—except I didn’t have sesame seeds so I used everything bagel seasoning lol. Kinda worked.
I followed it exactly and it came out bland until I added more soy sauce. After that, it finally tasted like teriyaki.
Made it but I forgot to add garlic oops. Still tasted okay, but it lacked that punch. Also, my onions burned a little because I was distracted. My bad.
Not gonna lie, mine turned out a little sweet. Maybe my honey was too heaped—still tasty though.
I’m not sure about the honey amount. It turned out kinda sweet for me, next time I’ll reduce it or add a splash of vinegar to balance.
I’m not usually into “hash” dishes but this was easy and tasted like a takeout bowl. Cooking the peppers a bit longer helped them soften more.
Honestly I’m the same—hash dishes usually feel boring to me. But if the peppers get that tender, I could see it working. Might try it with extra garlic!
The flavor combo is awesome, but 5-6 minutes per side felt a little long for my thin breasts. I’d check for doneness with a thermometer (165°F) so you don’t dry it out.
I doubled the chicken and thought it would be perfect, but I think I didn’t double the sauce right. It came out dry and I had to add extra soy sauce to save it.
Oof, I’ve had that happen. Chicken cooks fast here (5-6 min/side) so if it’s thicker you might overcook a bit and the sauce can’t “fix” that. Did you slice it thinner or pound it out?
That makes sense—if you doubled the chicken but kept the same sauce amounts, it’s basically guaranteed to go dry. Next time try scaling the teriyaki/soy/honey proportionally (maybe even a touch more honey).
This dish is amazing! The flavors are so good together. My family loved it!
Yummy! I made it with plastic chicken cause I didn’t have real ones😅. Still delicious!
Plastic chicken? That’s a new one! 😂 But glad it still turned out yummy! Gotta try that sometime!
