Description

Tender ground chicken enveloped in a sweet and tangy teriyaki glaze, nestled inside a roasted onion for a comfort food experience.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large onions
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 carrot, finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the onions by slicing the tops off and scooping out the insides, leaving a 1/4 inch shell.
  3. In a skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic and grated ginger until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  4. Add the ground chicken, bell pepper, and diced carrot, cooking until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Pour in the teriyaki sauce, stir to combine, and let simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  6. Stuff the onion shells with the chicken mixture, packing it tightly.
  7. Place the stuffed onions upright in a baking dish, add a splash of water, cover with foil, and bake for 25 minutes.
  8. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes until golden.

Notes

Incorporate diced pineapple for added sweetness. For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken with lentils and mushrooms.
