  • 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

– Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish

– Rice (white, brown, or quinoa) for serving

– Steamed vegetables such as carrots and broccoli for serving

Instructions

1-Getting started with this teriyaki chicken rice bowl is simple and fun. First, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat to get things going. Then, add the cubed chicken and cook it until it’s browned and no longer pink inside, which takes about 5-7 minutes.

2-While the chicken cooks, mix up the sauce by whisking together 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce, 1/2 cup water, 2 tablespoons honey, 3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil if you’re using it, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 2 teaspoons minced garlic, and 3 teaspoons cornstarch in a bowl. This step ensures a smooth, flavorful glaze.

3-Once the chicken is ready, pour the sauce into the skillet and stir while it cooks until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Serve it right away over rice, with steamed vegetables like carrots and broccoli on the side. Finish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for a nice touch, and feel free to make extra sauce for drizzling.

Notes

๐Ÿ”ช Cut chicken into evenly sized pieces for even cooking and heat oil thoroughly before adding chicken to get a good sear
โฐ Avoid overcooking chicken to keep it tender and juicy – remove from heat as soon as it’s no longer pink inside
๐Ÿฅก This recipe is perfect for meal prepping and reheats well – store leftovers separately in airtight containers for up to 3-4 days
