Ingredients

- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 green onions, sliced

- Salt and pepper to taste
How to Make Teriyaki Chicken with Rice
- Begin by cooking your white rice according to package instructions. Set aside once done.
- While the rice is cooking, slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and season with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken strips and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
- Pour the teriyaki sauce over the cooked chicken, stirring to coat evenly. Let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Serve the teriyaki chicken over a bed of cooked rice, garnishing with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
Tips for the Best Results
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in teriyaki sauce for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the chicken from sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Adjust the amount of teriyaki sauce according to your taste preference; feel free to add more for a saucier dish.
- Try adding steamed broccoli or snap peas for added nutrition and color.
Easy Variations
- Substitute chicken with tofu or shrimp for a different protein option.
- Use brown rice or quinoa for a healthier grain alternative.
- Add vegetables such as bell peppers, carrots, or bok choy for a more colorful dish.
- Spice it up with a dash of sriracha or red pepper flakes for a kick.
What to Serve With It
- Steamed broccoli or mixed vegetables for added crunch and nutrition.
- A simple side salad with sesame dressing to complement the flavors.
- Egg rolls or spring rolls for a delightful appetizer.
- A refreshing cucumber salad to balance the dish’s richness.
Storage and Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm in the microwave or in a skillet over low heat until heated through. If the rice has dried out, add a splash of water to revive it.
