Description
A quick and delicious Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowl that combines tender chicken and a rich homemade sauce, perfect for busy evenings and casual get-togethers.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 cup water
- 3 Tbsp. packed light brown sugar
- 2 Tbsp. rice vinegar
- 1/2 tsp. sesame oil (optional)
- 1 tsp. ground ginger
- 2 tsp. minced garlic
- 2 Tbsp. honey
- 3 tsp. cornstarch
- Sesame seeds for garnish
- Chopped green onions for garnish
- Rice for serving
- Steamed veggies for serving
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the cubed chicken to the skillet, browning it until cooked through and no longer pink.
- While the chicken cooks, prepare the teriyaki sauce. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, water, honey, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and cornstarch.
- Once the chicken has browned, pour the homemade teriyaki sauce into the skillet. Stir it in, allowing the sauce to coat the chicken evenly and cook until it thickens.
- Serve immediately over a bed of white or brown rice, accompanied by steamed veggies. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions for a polished presentation.
Notes
For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken in the teriyaki sauce prior to cooking. You can also add vegetables like bell peppers or broccoli to the skillet for a one-pan meal.
