Ingredients

• 1 pound Chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
• 1 cup Water
• 2 cups Cooked rice
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 unit Carrot, julienned
• 2 units Scallions, sliced
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until they are golden brown and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes.

Step 3

While the chicken cooks, prepare the teriyaki sauce by combining coconut aminos, honey, apple cider vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry.

Step 5

Once the sauce begins to simmer, slowly stir in the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan, whisking constantly until the sauce thickens. This should take about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Add the thickened teriyaki sauce to the skillet with the cooked chicken. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly.

Step 7

Steam the broccoli florets until fork-tender, about 5 minutes, and set aside.

Step 8

To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked rice between four bowls. Top with glazed chicken, steamed broccoli, and julienned carrots.

Step 9

Garnish each bowl with sliced scallions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Soy-Free Chicken Teriyaki Bowl!
