Description
A delicious and easy-to-make Teriyaki Chicken Bowl featuring tender chicken thighs, colorful vegetables, and flavorful sauce served over rice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup sliced bell peppers (any color)
- 1/2 cup sliced carrots
- 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon minced ginger
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
- Start by cooking the white rice according to package instructions. Set aside once done.
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into bite-sized pieces.
- In the same skillet, add the broccoli, bell peppers, and carrots. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- In a small bowl, mix together the teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Pour this sauce over the vegetables in the skillet and stir to combine.
- Add the sliced chicken back into the skillet and toss everything together until well coated in the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
- To serve, place a scoop of cooked rice in a bowl and top with the teriyaki chicken and vegetable mixture. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and garnish with sliced green onions.
Notes
- For a healthier option, substitute brown rice for white rice.
- Add extra vegetables like snap peas or zucchini for more color and nutrition.
