Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs), cubed

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 2 cups cooked white or brown rice

  • Steamed broccoli or mixed vegetables (optional, for serving)

For the Teriyaki Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup soy sauce

  • 1/4 cup water

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon honey

  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch mixed with 2 teaspoons water

  • 1 teaspoon grated garlic

  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger

  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (optional for tang)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Rice: Prepare rice according to package instructions and set aside.

  2. Prepare the Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, water, brown sugar, honey, garlic, ginger, and rice vinegar. Bring to a simmer. Stir in cornstarch slurry and cook until thickened. Remove from heat.

  3. Cook the Chicken: In a skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add chicken pieces and cook until golden and cooked through.

  4. Add Sauce: Pour prepared teriyaki sauce over chicken and stir to coat well. Simmer for a minute to absorb flavor.

  6. Serve Hot: Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions.

Notes

  • Add a soft-boiled egg or pickled ginger for extra flair.

  • Ideal for meal prepping—store components separately for freshness.
