Instructions
- Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 4-5 minutes, or until almost cooked through.
- Meanwhile, whisk all the teriyaki sauce ingredients together in a small bowl, then pour it over the chicken.
- Lower the heat and simmer for 3-5 minutes, until the sauce thickens and nicely coats the chicken.
- Steam the broccoli florets until just tender, 5-8 minutes.
- Divide the cooked brown rice among 4 glass containers, and top with steamed broccoli and teriyaki chicken.
- Garnish with sesame seeds, sliced chili, and green onions and enjoy!
- Refrigerate for 3-5 days and reheat just before serving.
💡 Notes & Tips
- Cut the chicken into evenly sized 1-inch pieces so they cook evenly.
- Chicken breasts or thighs can be used.
- Fresh or frozen broccoli works well.
- Brown rice, white rice, jasmine rice, or quinoa can be used.
- Store assembled bowls in airtight containers for up to 4 days.
- Reheat gently and add a splash of water to the rice if needed.
- Use tamari instead of soy sauce to make the recipe gluten-free.
- Add sriracha or sliced chili if you like a little heat.
- For best results, don't overcook the broccoli since it will be reheated.
