Chicken Teriyaki Bowls

Let's be real here ... on a typical night in our house, we order Postmates. 😂 But I'm trying to be better! When Sean and I first moved in together, I cooked ALL THE TIME. I was the queen of freezer meals, and it was super rare that we ever ate out! I'm trying my best to get the motivation back to meal plan regularly, and I think next on my list is to try out some meal kit delivery services like Blue Apron / Plated / etc. If you have a favorite out of any of those, let me know! ✌️

Now, onto one of our favorite dinner recipes! 🙌 I think we all have the recipes we gravitate towards ... the ones that are so simple and fast that they have a permanent spot on your grocery list. This Chicken Teriyaki Bowl (and tacos 😉) is that go-to dinner for us! It's light, healthy, and keeps super well for leftovers for lunch the next day. 

Keep scrolling for the recipe, and let me know if you make it for yourself! I'd love to know what you think of it. Have a great week, y'all! ❤️
