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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds or chopped green onions over the top for added flavor and presentation.
