Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowl

  1. Start by cooking the white rice according to package instructions. Set aside and keep warm.
  2. While the rice cooks, slice the chicken breasts into thin strips. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the cooked chicken, allowing it to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the chicken.
  5. To serve, divide the cooked rice into bowls, top with the teriyaki chicken, and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Use fresh chicken breasts for the best flavor and texture.
  • For a thicker sauce, let it simmer a bit longer after adding it to the chicken.
  • If you prefer a little heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of sriracha.
  • Make sure to slice the chicken against the grain for tender bites.

Easy Variations

  • Swap out the chicken for tofu or shrimp for a different protein.
  • Add steamed broccoli, snap peas, or bell peppers for extra veggies.
  • Substitute quinoa or brown rice for a healthier grain option.
  • Try different sauces like honey garlic or sweet chili for a twist.

What to Serve With It

  • Steamed edamame for a healthy appetizer.
  • A side salad with sesame dressing for a refreshing complement.
  • Miso soup for a warm, comforting addition.
  • Pickled vegetables for a tangy contrast.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave until heated through, adding a splash of water to keep the rice moist.
