Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup soy sauce

• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

How to Make Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowl

1. Start by preparing the teriyaki sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic until well combined. Set aside.
2. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
4. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken and reduce the heat to medium. Stir to coat the chicken in the sauce, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
5. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the rice according to package instructions if not already cooked.
6. To assemble the bowls, divide the rice among serving bowls. Top with the teriyaki chicken and drizzle any remaining sauce from the skillet over the top.
7. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the teriyaki sauce for 30 minutes before cooking.
• Make sure the skillet is hot enough before adding the chicken to get a nice sear.
• Don’t skip the garnishes; they add a fresh crunch and vibrant color to the dish.

Easy Variations

• Add steamed broccoli or snap peas for a burst of color and nutrition.
• Substitute chicken with tofu for a vegetarian option.
• Use brown rice or quinoa for a healthier grain base.

What to Serve With It

• Steamed vegetables like broccoli, carrots, or bok choy.
• A side of edamame for a protein-packed snack.
• Miso soup for a warm, comforting addition.
