Preparation

  2. In a non-stick skillet, cook your teriyaki chicken according to package instructions or until fully cooked through and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  3. Dice the cucumber and bell pepper into bite-sized pieces, and slice the green onions.
Assembly

  2. Drizzle the teriyaki sauce and soy sauce over the mixture, adding salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Gently toss the salad to combine all ingredients evenly. You can serve it immediately or let it chill in the refrigerator for a refreshing option!

Notes

Make sure to let the rice cool before mixing to keep everything crispy. Substitutions can be made with grilled shrimp or tofu instead of chicken.
