Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3 Tbsp. packed light brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp. rice vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp. sesame oil (optional)
  • 1 tsp. ground ginger
  • 2 tsp. minced garlic
  • 2 Tbsp. honey
  • 3 tsp. cornstarch
  • Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish
  • Rice for serving
  • Steamed veggies for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by cubing your chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces (about 1-inch cubes). In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Sauté the Chicken: Add the cubed chicken to the skillet and cook for 4–5 minutes until golden-brown. Transfer it to a plate and set aside.
  3. Make the Teriyaki Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, water, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and honey until well combined.
  4. Thicken the Sauce: Mix cornstarch with a splash of cold water to create a slurry. Add the teriyaki sauce mixture to the skillet and bring to a gentle boil. Stir in the slurry to thicken.
  5. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Add the sautéed chicken back to the skillet, stirring to coat in the sauce. Let it simmer for an additional minute.
  6. Cook the Rice & Steam the Veggies: Start cooking your rice according to package instructions and steam your veggies until tender.
  7. Assemble Your Bowls: Start with rice at the bottom of the bowl, followed by the teriyaki chicken.
  8. Garnish & Serve: Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions on top before serving.

Notes

Feel free to customize with extra veggies or different rice types. A splash of sriracha can add a spicy kick!
