Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowls Delicious and Easy Meal
Ingredients
- 500 g boneless chicken thighs, sliced thin
- 1 cup soy sauce (low sodium, if preferred)
- 1 2 honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (for thickening)
- 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 red bell pepper sliced
- 1 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the teriyaki sauce. Set aside a portion of the sauce for drizzling later.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the sliced chicken thighs and pour half of the teriyaki sauce over the chicken. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through.
- In a separate pot, steam the broccoli florets until tender, about 4 minutes. Afterward, toss them into the skillet with the chicken.
- Pour the cornstarch mixture into the skillet, stirring to combine and thicken the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the sauce clings to the chicken and vegetables.
- To assemble the rice bowls, start with a base of jasmine rice, then top it with the teriyaki chicken and broccoli mixture. Add sliced red bell pepper for crunch and color.
- Drizzle the reserved teriyaki sauce over each bowl and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
