How to Make Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowls
In a pan over medium heat, add the sesame oil. Allow it to warm for a minute, filling the air with a lovely aroma.
Add the diced chicken breast to the pan and sauté until it turns golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Make sure each piece is cooked through for the best flavor.
Pour your teriyaki sauce over the chicken. Stir well to coat all pieces, then let it simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and infuse the chicken with flavor.
While the chicken is cooking, steam your broccoli until it’s bright green and tender, roughly 3-5 minutes. This keeps your veggies fresh and flavorful.
Serve the juicy chicken and sizzling sauce over a bed of warm rice. Top it off with the steamed broccoli, sliced green onions, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for an elegant touch.
For extra flavor, drizzle a bit more teriyaki sauce over the finished bowls. Store chicken and rice separately if possible to avoid mushiness.
