Teriyaki Chicken Bowl
Quick teriyaki chicken and broccoli skillet is a tasty and comforting meal that takes just minutes to prep and is gone in no time. It is one of my favorite takeout dishes which I absolutely love making at home. Homemade teriyaki chicken is healthy, low in sodium and guaranteed to be the same flavorful or even better than the restaurant. Simple steps, and ingredients, yet this one-pan dinner is incredibly delicious.

INGREDIENTS
- 9 oz boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon of cooking oil, neutral such as avocado or canola oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 1 small hot chili pepper (optional), I like to use 1-2 bird's eye chilis
- 1 cup fresh broccoli florets
- ¼ teaspoon fresh ginger root, minced
- ½ cup of teriyaki sauce (gluten free and low sodium), divided
- 1-2 tablespoon scallions, sliced thin + more for garnish
- 1 cup cooked rice for serving
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a small bowl add chicken and ¼ cup teriyaki sauce. Let marinate for 30 minutes.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat oil and once hot brown the chicken pieces until all the way cooked through. It takes about 7-8 minutes in total.
- Set aside. Add broccoli, and scallions, and flash fry these for 2-3 minutes. Add garlic and ginger, and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant. If you like it spicy, add a small sliced 1-2 birds eye chili in the mix.
- Pour in the remaining ¼ cup teriyaki isauce and give it a good stir until the veggies are covered.
- Return the cooked chicken, and stir again. Serve right away with your favorite side, more scallions or green onions, and sesame seeds over a bed of rice.
NOTES
- Nutrition is calculated without rice.
- Cut the chicken against the grain for the most tender results, especially chicken breast.
- Try to cut the broccoli florets into similar sizes, so they cook evenly.
- To keep ginger fresh, place it in a resealable plastic bag and store in the fridge drawer. PRO TIP: if you have more time, grate a bunch of ginger, transfer to a resealable freezer-friendly bag, and store it in the freezer. Use whenever you need fresh ginger in the recipe, it stays grated and doesn't stick and is the best time saver ever.
