A delightful and easy recipe for Teriyaki Chicken Bowls, combining tender chicken, colorful vegetables, and fluffy rice, all coated in a sweet and savory sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch + 2 tablespoons water (for slurry)
  • 2 cups steamed rice
  • 2 cups chopped vegetables (such as broccoli, bell peppers, and carrots)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions, sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Teriyaki Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, water, honey, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger until everything is well combined. Set aside.
  2. Cut the Chicken: Take the boneless, skinless chicken thighs and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Sauté the Chicken: In a large pan over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Once heated, toss in the chicken pieces. Cook for about 6-8 minutes until browned and fully cooked through.
  4. Steam Your Vegetables: Steam your choice of chopped vegetables until tender but still crunchy, then set aside.
  5. Coat with Teriyaki Sauce: Once the chicken is cooked, pour the prepared teriyaki sauce over it, stirring well to coat.
  6. Thicken the Sauce: Mix cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Slowly drizzle this into the pan with the chicken while stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.
  7. Sauté the Vegetables: In another pan, heat the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat and quickly sauté the steamed vegetables for about 1-2 minutes.
  8. Assemble the Bowls: Start with a serving of steamed rice in each bowl. Top it with the chicken and sauce, and arrange the sautéed vegetables on the side.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and add sliced green onions on top. Serve immediately.
