Chicken teriyaki rice bowl with broccoli and green onion

About this recipe

A quick soy-honey glaze gives you teriyaki flavor without the bottled syrup aftertaste. Broccoli and rice keep the bowl from tasting one-note sweet.

Reduce the sauce until it coats a spoon. Thin glaze slides off the chicken and pools at the bottom of the bowl.

A little sesame oil at the table is optional. Skip it if you do not want it.

  1. TERIYAKI SAUCE

  2. Step 1

    Whisk soy sauce, honey, and garlic in a bowl until the honey dissolves.

  3. COOK

  4. Step 2

    Heat neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 7 to 9 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

  5. Step 3

    Add broccoli and a splash of water. Cover over medium-high for 2 to 3 minutes until bright and tender-crisp.

  6. Step 4

    Return chicken to the pan. Pour in the sauce and simmer over medium, tossing, until glossy and slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.

  7. BUILD THE BOWLS

  8. Step 5

    Divide rice among four bowls. Top with chicken, broccoli, and green onions. Drizzle sesame oil if using.

Tips

  1. Toast sesame seeds for garnish if you have them; they add a little crunch on top.

  2. Leftover sauce chicken reheats well; add a spoon of water when warming so the glaze loosens.
