Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

• 2 cups cooked white rice
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowl

1. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is browned and cooked through, stirring occasionally.
2. Once the chicken is cooked, pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken. Stir to coat the chicken evenly and let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
3. While the chicken is simmering, prepare the rice according to package instructions if not already cooked.
4. To serve, place a generous scoop of rice in a bowl, then top with the teriyaki chicken. Drizzle any extra sauce from the skillet over the top.
5. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve hot and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in teriyaki sauce for 30 minutes before cooking.
• Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the chicken from sticking and ensure even cooking.
• If you prefer a thicker sauce, let it simmer a bit longer after adding it to the chicken.
• Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Easy Variations

• Vegetable Additions: Stir in some steamed broccoli, bell peppers, or snap peas for added nutrition and color.
• Protein Swap: Substitute chicken with tofu, shrimp, or beef for different flavor profiles.
• Rice Alternatives: Use brown rice or quinoa for a healthier grain option.

What to Serve With It

• Steamed broccoli or mixed vegetables for a balanced meal.
• A side salad with a light sesame dressing.
• Miso soup for a traditional touch.
• Edamame for a protein-rich snack.
