Ingredients
Scale
Main Components:
- 1 lb (454 grams) chicken breast, diced
- 2 cups (473 milliliters) cooked jasmine rice
Vegetables:
- 1 cup (148 grams) broccoli florets
- 1 cup (100 grams) julienned carrots
Sauce and Seasonings:
- 1/4 cup (59 milliliters) teriyaki sauce
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) sesame oil
Garnish:
- Sesame seeds
- Sliced green onions
Instructions
- Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sauté diced chicken until golden brown and cooked through, approximately 5-6 minutes.
- Pour teriyaki sauce over chicken, reducing heat and allowing the sauce to caramelize and coat the meat thoroughly for 2-3 minutes.
- While chicken simmers, steam broccoli and carrots in a separate pot until they reach a vibrant, tender-crisp texture, about 4-5 minutes.
- Create a fluffy rice base in serving bowls, ensuring an even distribution of grains.
- Layer the teriyaki-glazed chicken directly over the rice, spreading it evenly across the surface.
- Arrange the steamed vegetables alongside the chicken, creating an appetizing color contrast.
- Sprinkle a generous handful of toasted sesame seeds over the entire bowl for added crunch and nutty flavor.
- Garnish with thinly sliced green onions, adding a fresh, sharp accent to the dish.
Notes
- Choose chicken thighs for juicier, more flavorful meat that stays tender during cooking.
- Customize heat levels by adding chili flakes or sriracha sauce to the teriyaki glaze for extra kick.
- Swap white rice with cauliflower rice for a low-carb, keto-friendly version of the bowl.
- Marinate chicken in teriyaki sauce for 30 minutes before cooking to enhance deeper flavor absorption.
