Teriyaki Chicken & Rice

This is one of those recipes that calls for the cook's judgment in amounts of some of the ingredients.  For example, the chicken.  I would buy a rotisserie chicken and cut up an appropriate amount for the amount of rice you will be making.  

In my opinion, I would not cook everything together.  Cut up rotisserie chicken, make a pot of rice and make the sauce, then assemble all together. 

Just my opinion!  It sounds delicious and I can't wait to make it.
