How to Make It

Note: This is an overview. See recipe card below this post for ingredient quantities and full instructions.

Make the Teriyaki Sauce
Whisk together soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth. This sauce is the heart of the dish, bringing the perfect balance of salty and sweet.

Sauté the Chicken
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add bite-sized chicken pieces and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes.

Thicken the Sauce
Pour the teriyaki sauce over the cooked chicken. Stir well and let it simmer until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken in a shiny glaze.

Steam the Veggies
Steam broccoli and carrots until just tender, keeping their vibrant colors intact.

Assemble the Bowl
Spoon rice into a bowl, layer the glazed chicken on top, and arrange the steamed veggies around it. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.

Pro Tips

• Use chicken thighs for a juicier, more flavorful dish.
• Double the sauce recipe and save some for drizzling over veggies or rice.
• Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle kick.

Storage Tips

• Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: Freeze cooked chicken and sauce for up to 3 months; thaw and reheat before serving.
• Reheat: Warm in the microwave or on the stove, adding a splash of water if the sauce thickens too much.
