This is what chicken teriyaki looks like.   Basmati rice, edamame, pineapple,  and of course teriyaki chicken.      
 The students prefer everything separate  when we serve  chicken teriyaki.   We are happy to oblige if it helps them eat.

Chicken Teriyaki was served today. Basmati rice and edamame were the sides.
I steam the chicken, then shred it, baking it with the teriyaki sauce.
Most students really like edamame, but a few teachers thought they were lima beans!
Im not against lima beans but I certainly would not serve them with chicken teriyaki.
We served a variety of fruit today.

I am off to the farmers market again this weekend. Looking forward to a new variety of apples.
The farmer I have been buying from expects pears as well.

Chicken Teriyaki

I've mentioned this before and it holds true this year, chicken teriyaki is a school wide favorite!

We served the chicken in a separate compartment from the rice because we all know how scary it can be when our food touches. We will probably try to do this, but sometimes the sauce will have to be on the pasta or rice.

The portion pictured was the K-2 portion. Grades 3-8 got a little more chicken and double the rice. The beans are pre-shelled edamame, which aren't quite as fun without the shell, but much less messy.

We hope everyone has a great weekend!

Chicken teriyaki is by far the favorite lunch. Today we served it with basmati rice, steamed edamame and pineapple.
