Ingredients

• 1 pound chicken breasts
• 0.5 cup soy sauce
• 0.25 cup mirin
• 0.25 cup sake
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon ginger
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 cups jasmine rice
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 large carrot
• 3 stalks scallions
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil. Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 3

Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for best results.

Step 4

Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook rice according to package directions or using a rice cooker. Keep warm.

Step 5

Heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and sear in the pan until browned and cooked through. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.

Step 6

Pour the leftover marinade into the pan and bring to a simmer. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry, then stir into the marinade. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

Return the chicken to the pan and toss to coat with the thickened sauce. Reduce heat to low to keep warm.

Step 8

In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and add the broccoli florets. Cook the broccoli for about 3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.

Step 9

Peel and julienne the carrot, and slice the scallions thinly.

Step 10

To assemble the bowls, start with a base of the warm jasmine rice, then top with chicken teriyaki, broccoli, carrots, and scallions. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Chicken Teriyaki Bowls!
