Ingredients

Scale

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup fresh broccoli florets
1 cup sliced bell peppers (any color)
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon ground ginger
Cooked rice or quinoa for serving

Instructions

Chop vegetables into bite-sized pieces and cut the chicken into uniform pieces.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and ground ginger. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, add oil and cook chicken pieces until golden brown (about 5–7 minutes).
Add broccoli and sliced bell peppers to the skillet and stir-fry for an additional 3–5 minutes until veggies are tender yet crisp.
Pour teriyaki sauce over the cooked chicken and vegetables; stir well to coat evenly and heat through for another minute.
Serve immediately over cooked rice or quinoa; garnish with sesame seeds or green onions if desired.
