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.
