17) Teriyaki Chicken Bowls

Sweet, salty, and just sticky enough that it feels like actual takeout. This is the recipe I make when someone asks "what's for dinner" and I have about 20 minutes and exactly zero creative energy. Bottled teriyaki sauce does a lot of the flavor work, and nobody needs to know that.
