Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cubed)
- 1 cup cooked white or brown rice
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1/2 cup bell peppers (sliced)
- 1/2 cup carrots (julienned)
- Teriyaki sauce (soy sauce, honey or brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, cornstarch slurry)
Instructions
- Prepare the teriyaki sauce by whisking together soy sauce, honey or brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and cornstarch slurry in a small bowl.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the cubed chicken until golden brown and cooked through (about 6-7 minutes), then pour in the teriyaki sauce and let it simmer until thickened (2-3 minutes).
- In a separate pan, stir-fry broccoli florets, sliced bell peppers, and julienned carrots for about 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
- Assemble your bowls with cooked rice at the base, topped with teriyaki chicken and sautéed vegetables.
- Finish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
