About Teriyaki chicken bowl

The Teriyaki Chicken Bowl is a popular dish rooted in Japanese cuisine, featuring grilled or sautéed chicken glazed in a sweet and savory teriyaki sauce, typically served over steamed rice with vegetables. The sauce is made from soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and sometimes ginger and garlic for added depth. This dish provides a balance of macronutrients, with the chicken offering lean protein, rice providing carbohydrates, and vegetables supplying essential vitamins and minerals. A typical serving of a Teriyaki Chicken Bowl contains around 400-600 calories, depending on portion size and preparation. It is a flavorful and satisfying meal that blends protein and nutrients into one bowl, making it convenient for both lunch and dinner.

• Good source of vitamins: The vegetables, such as broccoli or carrots, are rich in vitamins A and C, which support immune function and skin health.
• Contains essential minerals: Soy sauce in the teriyaki glaze provides small amounts of iron and manganese, important for energy metabolism and bone health.

Common Questions About Teriyaki chicken bowl Nutrition

Is a teriyaki chicken bowl high in protein?

Yes, a teriyaki chicken bowl is typically high in protein due to the chicken. On average, a serving contains about 25-30 grams of protein, depending on portion size and preparation, making it a good option for muscle repair and maintenance.

Can I eat a teriyaki chicken bowl on a keto or low-carb diet?

A traditional teriyaki chicken bowl is often not suitable for keto or low-carb diets because the teriyaki sauce is typically made with sugar, and the bowl often includes rice. To modify it, you can use a sugar-free teriyaki sauce and replace rice with cauliflower rice.

Are there any health benefits or concerns with eating a teriyaki chicken bowl?

A teriyaki chicken bowl can provide lean protein, some vitamins, and minerals, especially if paired with vegetables. However, traditional teriyaki sauce is high in sodium and sugar, which can be a concern if consumed excessively or if you have conditions like hypertension or diabetes.

What is the recommended portion size for a teriyaki chicken bowl?

The recommended portion size for a teriyaki chicken bowl is about 1 cup of cooked rice, 3-4 ounces of grilled chicken, and at least ½ cup of vegetables. This provides a nutrient-balanced meal at around 400-600 calories, depending on specific ingredients.

How does a teriyaki chicken bowl compare to other chicken-based dishes?

Compared to grilled chicken with plain rice, a teriyaki chicken bowl is higher in flavor but also in sugar and sodium due to the sauce. It's healthier than fried chicken dishes but less so than options without sweetened sauces. Opting for reduced-sugar teriyaki sauce can make it more comparable nutritionally to simpler chicken dishes.
