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!
The sauce step is key—don’t rush it. I let it simmer just a couple extra minutes and it got glossy and rich.
Quick to make and my kids loved it! Five stars for the taste and ease!
Looks good but isn’t honey kinda sweet for savory dishes? Just wonderin! I’m more of a soy sauce person.
I’m glad your kids loved it! I tried this last week and it was a hit too! Teriyaki is always a winner for the fam.
This was super tasty—sweet-salty balance is on point. I used chicken thighs instead and it still worked great. Will make again for sure.
So simple! I didn’t have honey, so I used sugar instead. Still yum!
This was actually super tasty and the honey + soy combo is perfect. I served it over rice and it tasted like something from a takeout place. The bell peppers stayed nice and bright too.
Chicken and veg is great! Quick dinner for my fam, thx!
It was ok, but the chicken was kinda dry. Maybe I cooked it too long?
Pretty good weeknight meal. I used regular soy sauce and added a pinch of chili flakes because my family likes heat. Next time I might cook the peppers a minute less so they don’t get too soft.
Hmm, I kinda did it differently—used less honey because it’s already sweet with the teriyaki sauce. Also I cooked the peppers less like you said. Came out way better in my opinion.
Glad it worked for you! I like that you adjusted the peppers—5-6 min can definitely make them softer than I want. Chili flakes with teriyaki/soy sounds awesome for a little kick.
Easy and fast weeknight meal. Bell peppers stayed a little crisp for me, which I liked. Next time I’ll add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
I don’t think teriyaki sauce and chicken go together. Just didn’t taste right to me.
Mine came out a little salty (probably my soy sauce was stronger). Still tasty though. I’d start with less salt next time.
Good weeknight recipe, but my sauce got a little too thick. Maybe I used more honey than it called for? Still tasty though.
Is it just me, or is this missing something? I added ginger, but still felt bland. Hmmm.
Can’t say I’m convinced—teriyaki sauce already has sugar, then you add honey… seems like too much. But I guess depends on taste.
What is teriyaki sauce? Can I just use BBQ sauce instead?
This was AMAZING! I loved the combination of flavors, and it was so easy to make. My family devoured it!
The instructions were confusing! I put the garlic in too early and it burned.
I get that! I often burn garlic too. Maybe try adding it later next time.
Confusing? It’s not that hard to follow a recipe. Just look at the steps carefully!
Super easy recipe and didn’t take long to make. The kids liked it too. Will make again!
Pretty good, but my sauce got a bit sticky on the pan after simmering. Maybe I should’ve used less honey or lower heat.
Mine got sticky once and I panicked 😂 I used the honey like it said but maybe my teriyaki sauce was already sweet? Next time I’m gonna use less honey or even add a splash of water/broth so it doesn’t caramelize on the bottom.
Yeah, I’ve had that happen too. I’d try lowering the heat a bit once the honey goes in, and make sure the pan isn’t too dry before you pour the sauce. Also, stirring more during those last 2–3 minutes helps it stay glossy instead of sticky.
Chicken timing might be off depending on breast thickness. Mine took closer to 7-8 minutes per side, but no big deal.
Okay, but did you have to use chicken? Can it be made vegan??
Made this tonight—super flavorful. The honey + soy combo really balances the teriyaki. I added a pinch of chili flakes and it kicked up nicely.
Five stars. So good.
I had teriyaki chicken before, but just something about this hash felt off. Not sure if I cooked it wrong or what. 🤔
Pretty easy and honestly looks like restaurant food. The sesame seeds on top made it feel fancy even though it’s just skillet stuff.
Totally agree—those sesame seeds make it look way more “restaurant” than it has any right to. I made it once and my family thought I ordered it in 😂
Not for me, I guess. My husband liked it, but I didn’t think it was all that great. Sorry!
Made this tonight—so easy and the sauce is legit sticky-sweet. I used chicken thighs and it still worked great. Sesame + green onion on top is a must.
Hmm I followed the steps but mine was way too sweet—had to add extra soy sauce and a splash of vinegar. Still good though, just next time I’ll go lighter on the honey.
Made this tonight and totally agree—so easy! The sauce really clings in that sticky-sweet way. Used regular chicken breast and the sesame + green onion made it taste way “restaurant-y.”
It was fine, but I expected more sauce. Also, 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce + 2 tbsp soy seems a little low—could use more for a wetter hash.
1 star bc i cant cook chicken lol (jk). But for real, I’d use a meat thermometer. Honey in teriyaki always burns if your heat is too high!
Wait, 5–6 minutes per side for chicken breasts seems kinda short? Mine usually needs more like 7–10. Would love your doneness tips.
Haha I appreciate the joke 😅 But yes—honey can scorch fast. I always keep it at medium-low and add the sauce off-heat if I’m nervous.
Teriyaki sauce + soy + honey… seems kinda redundant? Like why not just use teriyaki sauce only? I guess it works, but I’m skeptical every time I see recipes like this.
Too sweet for my taste, didn’t enjoy it. Maybe cut the honey? 🤷♂️
Not gonna lie, my bell peppers were too crunchy at 5-6 minutes. I think I needed longer or higher heat. Otherwise tasty.
This is like the savory version of takeout, but at home. I served it over rice and the sauce covered everything perfectly—will repeat.
The timings are confusing: 5–6 minutes per side for 2 chicken breasts sounds like it depends a lot on thickness. I overcooked mine slightly.
Yeah, I agree. 5–6 min per side for 2 breasts is super thickness-dependent. I always go by internal temp now—165°F/74°C—and it saves me from overcooking.
This recipe is amazing! The flavors burst in your mouth! Will definitely make again. 😊
Way too sweet for me. I’d cut the honey in half and add more garlic/pepper. The peppers were great, just couldn’t get past the sweetness.
Tried it and it was bland until I salted more at the end. After that, it tasted way better. Still a solid weeknight dish.
Decent, but 5-6 minutes per side for the chicken felt a little too fast for me. I had to keep cooking longer to get it fully done. Flavor was nice though.
Cooked exactly like the instructions and it was bland until I salted at the end. After that it was fine—maybe the “to taste” salt/pepper matters more than usual.
I followed it but mine looked more like chicken with veggies than a “hash.” Maybe I chopped the peppers too big. Anyone got tips?
Not bad, but I wish it had more veggies. Two bell peppers + one onion feels small for the amount of chicken.
Totally get what you mean—2 peppers and 1 onion can feel a little light. I’ve stretched it by adding zucchini or mushrooms and it still tastes great with the teriyaki sauce.
I don’t usually measure honey, but I actually did this time. Thought it would be too sweet—turned out balanced. Nice!
Yes! I’ve had the same fear with honey, but whisking it with the soy/teriyaki usually balances it out. Glad it worked for you 😊
I feel like 5–6 minutes per side might be long for my skillet? Mine dried out slightly, so I’ll adjust heat next time.
Totally agree—skillet sizes and heat vary a lot. If it dried out, I’d drop the heat a notch and/or start checking earlier than 5–6 min per side. Maybe cover it briefly too?
Pretty good, but I thought it needed a little more sauce. Next time I’ll increase the teriyaki/soy just to make it glossier.
Sesame seeds and green onions at the end = restaurant vibes. My family went back for seconds.
