Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 3 tbsp Brown sugar
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 1 tbsp Water
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 cup Carrots, sliced into thin rounds
- 1 cup Bell peppers, sliced
- 1 cup Snow peas

Instructions
Dice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, cornstarch, and water until smooth. This is the teriyaki sauce.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the diced chicken to the skillet, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook for 5-6 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and add the broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, and snow peas.
Stir fry the vegetables for 4-5 minutes until they are crisp-tender.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables.
Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken and vegetables, stirring well to evenly coat everything. Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with sesame seeds.
Serve the teriyaki chicken stir fry over bowls of cooked rice and enjoy!
