Ingredients

• 1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 0.25 cup Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
• 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, freshly grated
• 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
• 2 teaspoons Water (for slurry)
• 3 cups Cooked white rice (or brown rice, optionally)
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 cup Carrots, thinly sliced
• 2 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the tamari, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger to make the teriyaki sauce.

Step 2

In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Set both aside.

Step 3

Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.

Step 5

Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce into the skillet with the chicken. Stir to coat the chicken evenly.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 7

Steam the broccoli florets and carrot slices until tender, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 8

To assemble, divide the cooked rice evenly among four bowls. Top each bowl with the teriyaki chicken, steamed vegetables, and sliced green onions.

Step 9

Garnish with sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
