Ingredients
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into pieces
1 cup fresh broccoli florets
1 cup bell peppers, sliced
¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1-2 cloves minced garlic
1 teaspoon ground ginger
Cooked rice or noodles, for serving
1 tablespoon oil (for cooking)
Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Wash and chop vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Cut chicken breasts into uniform pieces for even cooking.
- Make Teriyaki Sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and ground ginger. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Cook Chicken: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add Vegetables: Toss in broccoli and bell peppers. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until vegetables are tender yet crisp.
- Combine and Serve: Pour teriyaki sauce over chicken and vegetables. Cook for another minute until well-coated and heated through.
- Assemble Bowls: Serve the teriyaki chicken mixture over cooked rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired.
Notes
- Substitute chicken with tofu, shrimp, or beef for variety.
- Add snap peas, carrots, or mushrooms for more veggies.
- For a spicy kick, add sriracha or red pepper flakes to the sauce.
- Store leftovers in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheat with a splash of water or broth if sauce thickens.
- Use tamari or gluten-free soy sauce to make it gluten-free.
- The sauce can be prepared in advance and refrigerated up to a week.
- Can be cooked in a slow cooker on low for 4-6 hours.
