Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 2 cups broccoli florets chopped into bite-size pieces
  • 1 pound chicken breasts cubed
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 cup green onions chopped
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 2 cups cooked rice

Equipment

  • Large skillet or wok
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula or wooden spoon
  • Knife and cutting board

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and cornstarch until well combined.
  2. In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the cubed chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Toss in the broccoli and diced red bell pepper, stirring frequently for about 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
  4. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken and veggies, stirring to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened and everything is heated through.
  5. To assemble your Chicken Teriyaki Bowl, spoon cooked rice into bowls, top with the teriyaki chicken and vegetable mixture, and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Enjoy your flavorful creation!

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, substitute soy sauce with tamari.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, use more cornstarch or let it simmer longer.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like snap peas, carrots, or bok choy.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days, making it a great option for meal prep!
