Ingredients
-
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
-
1 cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
2 cups steamed rice (white or brown)
-
1 cup broccoli florets
-
1 carrot, julienned
-
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
-
2 green onions, chopped
-
1 tablespoon rice vinegar (optional for added tang)
Instructions
-
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
-
In the same skillet, add teriyaki sauce and bring it to a simmer. For extra tang, stir in rice vinegar. Stir occasionally to avoid burning.
-
Once the sauce thickens, return the chicken to the skillet, coating it in the sauce. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to absorb the flavors.
-
Steam the broccoli and prepare the rice while the chicken simmers.
-
To assemble, layer rice in bowls, then top with broccoli, julienned carrots, and sliced teriyaki chicken.
-
Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve immediately.
Notes
-
Vegetarian Option: Replace chicken with tofu or tempeh. Press and cube tofu before pan-frying.
-
Add More Veggies: Feel free to customize with bell peppers, snow peas, or spinach.
-
Spicy Teriyaki: Add sriracha or chili flakes to the sauce for some heat
