Servings: 4
Calories: 714kcal
Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thigh meat
Teriyaki Sauce:
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 3/4 cup low sodium soy sauce*
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 5-6 garlic cloves pressed
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
Optional Veggies and Rice:
- 1 bunch of broccoli**
- 4 cups cooked rice
- 1/4 cup diced scallions garnish
- 1 tsp sesame seeds garnish
Instructions
- Dice broccoli (and other veggies using) into smaller pieces. (Smaller pieces will cook faster.) Set aside.
- Chop chicken thigh meat into small pieces, make sure to cut against the grain. (Personally, I like to get rid of as much fat as possible but you can leave some if you choose.)
- Whisk all ingredients for the sauce together in a bowl, making sure you whisk in cornstarch well. Set aside.
- Preheat a large cooking pan over medium heat and add some oil. Add diced chicken to the pan and sear it until golden brown.
- NOTE: you can cook the veggies right with the chicken or you can sauté them separately with a little salt and some oil. If you want to cook the veggies in the same pan, add them at this step.
- Stir chicken (and veggies) and let it sauté on other sides.
- When chicken is almost done, whisk sauce one more time and pour it in the pan. Slowly stir everything together and let it simmer until sauce is thickened and chicken is done.
- Divide rice among them bowls and top with off with chicken, sauce, and vegetables. Sprinkle each plate with green onions and sesame seeds.
