Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cups cooked white rice (or brown rice for a healthier option)
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup snap peas
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Trim excess fat from the chicken thighs and cut them into 1-inch cubes. In a medium bowl, combine the teriyaki sauce (reserving ¼ cup for later) and chicken pieces, tossing to coat. Marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator).
- Rinse broccoli florets and cut them into smaller pieces. Trim the ends of the snap peas and remove any strings. Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips and julienne the carrot. Chop the green onions, separating the white parts from the green tops.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Pour in the reserved teriyaki sauce and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Push the chicken to one side of the skillet. Add the white parts of the green onions, broccoli, snap peas, red bell pepper, and carrot to the other side. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until tender-crisp. Mix the vegetables with the chicken and season with salt and pepper.
- Place a scoop of cooked rice in each bowl. Spoon the teriyaki chicken and vegetable mixture over the rice. Garnish with chopped green onion tops and sesame seeds.
- Serve warm with optional toppings like sliced avocado, pickled ginger, or sriracha. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Notes
- For a healthier option, substitute white rice with brown rice.
- Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preference or seasonal availability.
- Marinating the chicken longer enhances the flavor.
