Ingredients

• 1 pound Boneless skinless chicken thighs
• 0.5 cup Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 cup Carrots, julienned
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 whole Red bell pepper, sliced thinly
• 3 cups Cooked white rice
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to form a slurry. Set aside for later.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until golden brown and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Toss in the carrots, broccoli, and red bell pepper. Stir-fry the vegetables for 5-7 minutes or until they are tender-crisp.

Step 6

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce over the chicken and vegetables, stirring well to coat everything evenly.

Step 7

Bring the sauce to a simmer, then stir in the cornstarch slurry. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.

Step 8

Drizzle sesame oil over the teriyaki mixture and give everything a final stir.

Step 9

Serve the Teriyaki Delight over a bed of steamed white rice. Garnish with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added flavor and texture.
