Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the teriyaki chicken
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs (or breasts; cubed)
  • 2 tablespoons oil (divided)
For the rice bowls
  • 4 cups cooked jasmine rice
  • 2 cups steamed broccoli
  • green onions
  • sesame seeds

Method
 

  1. Combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger in a small bowl.
  2. Place the chicken in a bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook half the chicken for 4-5 minutes until cooked through, transfer to a plate, and repeat with the remaining chicken.
  4. Divide the rice, chicken, and steamed broccoli into two bowls. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.

Notes

Chicken Thighs: I always reach for boneless skinless thighs because they stay incredibly tender and juicy even if I get distracted and leave them in the pan a minute too long.
