👩🍳 Instructions
Cook the rice
Prepare rice according to package instructions and set aside.
Cook the chicken
Cut chicken into bite-size pieces.
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.
Add chicken and cook for about 5–7 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Add garlic
Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Make the sauce
In a bowl mix soy sauce, honey, mirin, water, cornstarch, and ginger.
Combine
Pour the sauce into the pan with the chicken.
Stir and simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
Serve
Place rice in bowls, top with teriyaki chicken, and sprinkle sesame seeds and green onions.
⭐ Tips
Add steamed broccoli, carrots, or bell peppers for a healthier bowl.
Chicken thighs stay juicier than breasts.
For extra flavor, drizzle a little extra teriyaki sauce on the rice.
