  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

– 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed

– 1 tablespoon olive oil

– 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce

– 1/2 cup water

– 3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar

– 2 tablespoons rice vinegar

– 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)

– 1 teaspoon ground ginger

– 2 teaspoons minced garlic

– 2 tablespoons honey

– 3 teaspoons cornstarch

– Rice (such as white, brown, or quinoa, amount as needed for serving)

– Steamed vegetables such as carrots and broccoli (quantities as desired)

– Sesame seeds (for garnish)

– Chopped green onions (for garnish)

Instructions

1-Getting started with this Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowl is simple and fun, taking just about 5 minutes to prepare and 20 minutes to cook. Begin by cubing 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts and heating 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken and brown it for even cooking, which helps lock in juices and flavors.

2-While the chicken cooks, whisk together the teriyaki sauce: 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce, 1/2 cup water, 3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil (if using), 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 2 teaspoons minced garlic, 2 tablespoons honey, and 3 teaspoons cornstarch in a bowl. Pour this mixture over the browned chicken and let it simmer until thickened, creating a glossy glaze. Meanwhile, cook your choice of rice and steam vegetables like carrots and broccoli to add crunch and color.

3-To assemble, layer the rice at the bottom of a bowl, top with the glazed chicken and steamed veggies, then garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for extra texture. Benefits of ginger in the sauce not only add zest but also bring potential health perks, making this dish as nourishing as it is tasty. Follow these steps closely for a meal that’s ready in under 30 minutes and packed with appeal.

Notes

๐Ÿ— Cut chicken into even bite-sized pieces to ensure uniform cooking and prevent some pieces from drying out while others cook through
๐Ÿ”ฅ Make sure the oil is hot before adding chicken to achieve a good sear and golden brown color – this adds flavor and texture to the final dish
๐Ÿฅก For meal prep, store chicken, rice, and vegetables separately to prevent the rice from becoming soggy – reheat each component individually for best results
