Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 lb chicken breast, sliced

Sauce

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch

Vegetables

  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 2 cups broccoli florets

Others

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • Sesame seeds for garnish
  • Green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and cornstarch until smooth. This will create the teriyaki sauce that thickens during cooking.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat sesame oil in a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken breast and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  3. Stir-Fry Vegetables: Add the sliced bell pepper, onion, and broccoli florets to the pan with the chicken. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 4-5 minutes until they become tender-crisp.
  4. Add the Sauce: Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Continue cooking and stirring for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and evenly coats all ingredients.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove the pan from heat. Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions on top for added flavor and crunch. Serve immediately with steamed rice or your choice of side.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, substitute regular soy sauce with tamari or gluten-free soy sauce.
  • You can substitute chicken breast with chicken thighs for juicier meat.
  • Add other vegetables like snap peas, carrots, or mushrooms according to your preference.
  • Ensure cornstarch is fully dissolved in the sauce before adding to prevent lumps.
  • Serve with steamed jasmine or brown rice for a complete meal.
