Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 cup Carrots, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Bell peppers (any color), sliced
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Mirin
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 2 tbsp Water
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp Green onions, sliced (optional for garnish)
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, mirin, honey, garlic, ginger, and 1 tablespoon of water to create the teriyaki sauce.
In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the remaining 1 tablespoon of water to create a slurry. Set both mixtures aside.
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the broccoli, carrots, and bell peppers. Stir-fry the vegetables for 5-6 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour in the teriyaki sauce. Stir well to coat the chicken and vegetables evenly.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens (about 1-2 minutes).
Once the sauce has thickened and everything is well-coated, remove from heat. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
Serve the teriyaki chicken and vegetables over cooked rice or noodles if desired. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and texture.
