Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
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.
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.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry.
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.
Add the thickened teriyaki sauce to the skillet with the cooked chicken. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly.
Steam the broccoli florets until fork-tender, about 5 minutes, and set aside.
To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked rice between four bowls. Top with glazed chicken, steamed broccoli, and julienned carrots.
Garnish each bowl with sliced scallions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Soy-Free Chicken Teriyaki Bowl!
