Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, stevia (if using), and water. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the broccoli, carrots, and bell peppers to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Add the edamame (if using) during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
While the vegetables are cooking, whisk the cornstarch (or arrowroot powder) into the prepared soy sauce mixture until completely dissolved.
Pour the sauce into the skillet with the vegetables and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly (about 2 minutes).
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss to coat it with the sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to heat through.
Divide the cooked brown rice into four serving bowls. Top each bowl with the teriyaki chicken and vegetable mixture.
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving. Enjoy!
