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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
