Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups cooked white rice
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

How to Make Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowl

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic to create the teriyaki sauce. 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, or until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
4. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken in the skillet. Stir well to coat the chicken and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
5. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the rice according to package instructions if not already cooked.
6. To serve, place a generous scoop of rice in a bowl, top with the teriyaki chicken, and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the teriyaki sauce for 15-30 minutes before cooking.
• Make sure to cook the chicken thoroughly until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
• Use jasmine or basmati rice for a fragrant addition to your bowl.
• If you prefer a thicker sauce, let it simmer for a few more minutes until it reduces to your desired consistency.

Easy Variations

• Add steamed broccoli, bell peppers, or snap peas for a boost of nutrition and color.
• Substitute chicken with tofu or shrimp for a different protein option.
• For a spicy kick, add a dash of sriracha or red pepper flakes to the sauce.
• Swap white rice for brown rice or quinoa for a healthier grain option.

What to Serve With It

• A side of steamed edamame for extra protein.
• Crisp cucumber salad dressed in rice vinegar.
• Miso soup for a warm complement to the meal.
• Pickled vegetables for a tangy contrast.
