Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 1/2 cups long-grain rice
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 pound stir-fry vegetables carrots, snow peas, broccoli, cabbage
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Teriyaki Sauce

Instructions

  • Cube the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the oil in a deep, large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger. Cook for about 30 seconds, then add the chicken pieces to the skillet. Cook just until browned on the outside (it will continue cooking with the rice).
  • Add uncooked rice to the skillet. Cook for a minute or two until the rice is translucent. Add the water and stir well. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and allow to simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the teriyaki sauce by whisking the soy sauce, brown sugar and sesame oil in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • After 10 minutes, remove the lid from the skillet and add vegetables. Give everything a good stir and immediately replace the lid. Continue cooking over low heat for another 5 minutes. Leaving the lid on the skillet, turn off the heat and allow to rest for an additional 5-10 minutes or until the veggies are tender.
  • Give the teriyaki mixture a quick stir, then remove the lid and drizzle the sauce over the mixture. Gently stir everything together, making sure to scrape everything up from the bottom of the pan so all of the ingredients are coated with the sauce.
  • Replace the lid and let the skillet rest for another 5 minutes to allow all the flavors to meld. Dish into serving bowls and top with sesame seeds, if desired.
