Delicious Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowl with Broccoli Recipe

Ingredients

  • Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • Soy sauce
  • Honey
  • Minced garlic
  • Grated ginger
  • Rice (Jasmine or basmati, or brown rice or quinoa as alternatives)
  • Fresh broccoli
  • Oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Sesame seeds (optional)
  • Chopped green onions (optional)

Instructions

  1. Start by cooking your rice according to the package instructions. Typically, you would rinse the rice, then combine it with water in a pot. Bring it to a boil, cover, and reduce to a simmer until tender.
  2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon grated ginger. Stir until combined and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened. You can adjust sweetness by adding more honey or balance with a splash of vinegar.
  3. While the sauce simmers, heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of oil. Season your chicken with salt and pepper, then add it to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Once cooked, slice the chicken into strips.
  4. In a steamer basket over boiling water, add your broccoli florets and steam for about 5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. If you don’t have a steamer, you can blanch them in boiling water for a couple of minutes.
  5. In a serving bowl, add a scoop of rice as the base. Lay the sliced chicken on top and drizzle generously with the teriyaki sauce. Add the steamed broccoli on the side.
  6. If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds or chopped green onions over the top for added flavor and presentation.
