Instructions
Creating Easy Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowls is simple when you follow these straightforward steps:
1. Cook the Rice: In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and water (or chicken broth). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
2. Prepare the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until browned and cooked through.
3. Add Vegetables: Once the chicken is cooked, add the broccoli, bell pepper, and snap peas (or green beans) to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet crisp.
4. Incorporate Teriyaki Sauce: Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Allow it to simmer for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.
5. Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, layer the cooked rice at the bottom. Top with the teriyaki chicken and vegetable mixture.
6. Garnish: Sprinkle sliced green onions and sesame seeds over each bowl for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.
7. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Easy Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowls while hot for the best experience.
