Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 0.5 cup soy sauce
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 3 cups cooked rice
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 medium carrot, sliced
• 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Cut the boneless, skinless chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 2

In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to make the teriyaki sauce.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and water to make a slurry, ensuring no lumps remain.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the chicken pieces. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Once the chicken is browned, pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 6

Add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet, stirring well to incorporate it into the sauce. Continue to simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 7

In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and steam broccoli florets and sliced carrots until tender, approximately 5 minutes.

Step 8

To assemble the bowls, place a serving of cooked rice at the bottom of each bowl. Top with teriyaki chicken, steamed vegetables, and then sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade teriyaki chicken bowl.
