Ingredients
- Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Teriyaki sauce
- Honey
- Broccoli
- Bell peppers
- Snap peas
- Rice (jasmine, brown, or cauliflower)
- Sesame seeds
Instructions
- Start by cooking your rice according to package instructions. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes, so it's a good idea to start this first.
- While the rice is cooking, chop the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. This helps it cook faster and allows the teriyaki sauce to coat the chicken evenly.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil. Once hot, add the chicken pieces and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and cooked through.
- Pour in your teriyaki sauce and honey, stirring to coat the chicken evenly. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Toss in your chopped vegetables and stir-fry for about 3-5 minutes, or until they’re tender-crisp. You want them to maintain some bite.
- Once the vegetables are cooked, remove the skillet from heat. Fluff your rice and serve it as a base in bowls. Spoon the honey teriyaki chicken and vegetable mixture over the rice.
- Finish off each bowl with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and, if you like, some sliced green onions for extra flavor.

Keywords: To save time, consider marinating the chicken in teriyaki sauce for a couple of hours before cooking. Experiment with different vegetables based on what’s in season or what you have on hand. If you want variety, try swapping the chicken for beef or tofu. If you enjoy a little heat, add some red pepper flakes or sriracha to the sauce for a spicy kick.
