Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 cup Carrots, julienned
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 whole Red bell pepper, sliced thinly
- 3 cups Cooked white rice
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Instructions
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the teriyaki sauce.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to form a slurry. Set aside for later.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until golden brown and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Toss in the carrots, broccoli, and red bell pepper. Stir-fry the vegetables for 5-7 minutes or until they are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce over the chicken and vegetables, stirring well to coat everything evenly.
Bring the sauce to a simmer, then stir in the cornstarch slurry. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
Drizzle sesame oil over the teriyaki mixture and give everything a final stir.
Serve the Teriyaki Delight over a bed of steamed white rice. Garnish with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added flavor and texture.
