Instructions
Preparing Chicken Teriyaki Rice Bowls is a straightforward process. Just follow these steps:
1. Cook the Rice: In a medium saucepan, combine rice with 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until rice is tender and water is absorbed.
2. Prepare the Chicken: While the rice is cooking, cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Season with a little salt and pepper.
3. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
4. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through. Stir occasionally.
5. Add the Vegetables: Once the chicken is nearly cooked, add the broccoli, bell peppers, and carrots to the skillet. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
6. Add the Sauce: Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken and vegetables, stirring to coat well. Allow to simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly thicken.
7. Serve: Fluff the rice with a fork and divide it into bowls. Top with the teriyaki chicken and vegetables.
8. Garnish: Sprinkle sliced green onions and sesame seeds on top for added crunch and flavor.
9. Enjoy: Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your delightful Chicken Teriyaki Rice Bowls!
