Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 0.5 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 3 cups cooked rice
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 medium carrot, sliced
- 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Cut the boneless, skinless chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to make the teriyaki sauce.
In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and water to make a slurry, ensuring no lumps remain.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the chicken pieces. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
Once the chicken is browned, pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet, stirring well to incorporate it into the sauce. Continue to simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and steam broccoli florets and sliced carrots until tender, approximately 5 minutes.
To assemble the bowls, place a serving of cooked rice at the bottom of each bowl. Top with teriyaki chicken, steamed vegetables, and then sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade teriyaki chicken bowl.
