Teriyaki Chicken and Rice Bowl is a delightful combination of tender chicken, savory-sweet teriyaki sauce, and a medley of fresh vegetables served over warm, fluffy rice. A perfect balance of flavors, this dish is quick, easy, and satisfying—a great choice for lunch or dinner with an Asian-inspired twist!
Toss 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs (cut into bite-sized pieces) with 1 Tablespoon cornstarch to coat evenly.
Heat 2 Tablespoons avocado oil in the large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fully cooked. Set aside
Make the teriyaki sauce; in a small mixing bowl, combine ¼ cup soy sauce, 2 Tablespoons raw honey, 2 Tablespoons mirin, 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger, 2 cloves garlic (peeled and minced), and 1 teaspoon sesame oil.
In the skillet, toss the sauce with the chicken to coat evenly. Simmer the mixture over low heat for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and the chicken absorbs the flavors
Step 5: Assemble the Bowl
Divide the 2 cups cooked white rice among 4 bowls. Top each bowl with equal amounts of the teriyaki chicken, 1 cup steamed broccoli florets, 1 medium carrot (julienned), ½ cup shredded red cabbage, ¼ cup edamame, 2 Tablespoons sesame seeds, and 2 green onions (thinly sliced).
Serve immediately and enjoy.
