Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 small (about 150g) boneless skinless chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon mirin
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 clove, finely minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon, grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons (for cornstarch slurry) water
- 1 cup (warm) cooked white rice
- 0.5 cup broccoli florets
- 0.25 cup, thinly sliced carrot
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon (optional, for garnish) sesame seeds
- 1 stalk, thinly sliced (optional, for garnish) green onion
Instructions
Dice the chicken breast into small bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a small bowl, prepare the teriyaki sauce by mixing soy sauce, mirin, honey, garlic, and ginger together. Set aside.
In another small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add sesame oil.
Once the skillet is hot, add the chicken pieces and cook for 4-5 minutes or until fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets and sliced carrot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Return the chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in the teriyaki sauce and lightly stir to coat.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet, stirring well to thicken the sauce. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
To assemble the rice bowl, place the warm cooked rice in a bowl. Top with the teriyaki chicken and vegetables.
Garnish with sesame seeds and green onion, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
