Instructions
1- Getting started with this Teriyaki Chicken Bowl is straightforward and fun, perfect for anyone in the kitchen. Begin by gathering your ingredients to make the process smooth and efficient. Follow these steps to create a savory dish that highlights fresh veggies and tender chicken.
2- First, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. This step ensures your chicken gets a nice sear right from the start.
3- Next, add the cubed chicken breasts and cook until browned and no longer pink inside; drain any excess liquid to keep the dish from becoming too watery.
4- While the chicken cooks, whisk together 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce, 1/2 cup water, 2 tablespoons honey, 3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil (if using), 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 2 teaspoons minced garlic, and 3 teaspoons cornstarch in a bowl to make the teriyaki sauce.
5- Once the chicken is cooked, add the sauce to the skillet and cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken evenly.
6- Serve immediately over cooked rice with steamed vegetables such as broccoli and carrots.
7- Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, and feel free to drizzle extra sauce on top for added flavor.
