Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 lb chicken breasts or thighs, sliced into bite-sized pieces

Vegetables

  • 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup carrots, sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas

Teriyaki Sauce

  • ½ cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 tbsp honey or brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar

Base

  • 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa

Garnishes

  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions, sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces for quick and even cooking. Lightly season, then pan-sear over medium-high heat until golden brown and fully cooked.
  2. Cook the Vegetables: In a drizzle of oil, sauté the bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, and snap peas until they become tender-crisp, retaining their vibrant color and crunch.
  3. Make the Teriyaki Sauce: Combine soy sauce, honey or brown sugar, minced garlic, ginger, and rice vinegar in a small saucepan. Simmer while stirring until the sauce thickens into a glossy glaze.
  4. Toss Chicken and Veggies in Sauce: Add the cooked chicken and vegetables back into the pan with the teriyaki sauce. Stir well to coat everything evenly with the flavorful glaze.
  5. Assemble the Bowls: Serve the glazed chicken and vegetables over warm steamed rice or quinoa. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions to finish.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic and ginger for a richer, more vibrant sauce flavor.
  • Don’t overcook vegetables; keep them crisp for texture contrast.
  • Simmer sauce until thick enough to cling without being too sticky or runny.
  • Allow chicken to rest briefly after cooking to retain juiciness before tossing in the sauce.
  • Cook rice ahead to save time when assembling the bowls.
