📝 Ingredients (Serves 2–3)

For the Rice Bowl:

  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (warm)

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 1/3 cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar (optional, for extra gloss)

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger (or 1 tsp fresh grated ginger)

  • Salt & black pepper, to taste

For the Veggies:

  • 1 cup broccoli florets

  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced

  • 1 cup snap peas or green beans

  • 1 small carrot, julienned or sliced

  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

  • 1 tablespoon water

For Garnish (Optional but Recommended):

  • Sliced green onions

  • Sesame seeds

  • Extra teriyaki sauce

  • Chili flakes or sriracha

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Chicken

Pat chicken breasts dry and season lightly with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and ground ginger. This seasoning layer enhances the flavor before the teriyaki glaze goes on.

2️⃣ Cook the Chicken

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken breasts and cook for 5–6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Once fully cooked, reduce heat to low and pour in teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, and honey (if using). Spoon the sauce over the chicken and simmer for 2–3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the chicken beautifully.

Remove chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

3️⃣ Sauté the Veggies

In the same skillet, add sesame oil and vegetables along with 1 tablespoon of water. Sauté over medium-high heat for 3–5 minutes until tender-crisp and vibrant.

Season lightly with salt and pepper.

4️⃣ Assemble the Rice Bowls

Divide warm jasmine rice between bowls. Top with sliced teriyaki chicken and sautéed veggies. Drizzle with extra teriyaki sauce for that irresistible glossy finish.
