Ingredients

• 500 g chicken breast
• 80 ml soy sauce (low-sodium)
• 2 tbsp honey
• 2 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp water
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp ginger, grated
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 3 cups brown rice (cooked)
• 150 g broccoli florets
• 1 large carrot, julienned
• 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
• 2 stalks green onions, chopped
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized chunks and set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil.

Step 3

In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Add this to the teriyaki sauce mixture and stir well to combine.

Step 4

Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for 6–8 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets, julienned carrot, and sliced red bell pepper. Stir-fry the vegetables for 4–5 minutes until they are tender-crisp.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium and pour the teriyaki sauce into the skillet. Allow the sauce to simmer for 1–2 minutes until it thickens.

Step 7

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss everything together to coat the chicken and vegetables evenly with the teriyaki sauce.

Step 8

To assemble the bowl, divide the cooked brown rice evenly into 4 serving bowls.

Step 9

Top each bowl with the teriyaki chicken and vegetable mixture.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve warm.
