Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the 1 pound chicken breast pieces, season with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through.
  2. Add the 1 bag frozen broccoli florets to the skillet. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring, until tender-crisp. If needed, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of water and cover for a minute to steam the broccoli quickly.
  3. Pour in the 1/2 cup store-bought teriyaki sauce and stir to coat the chicken and broccoli evenly. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
  4. While the chicken and broccoli are cooking, heat the 2 packages pre-cooked brown rice according to package directions (typically microwave for 90 seconds).
  5. Serve the chicken-broccoli teriyaki over the heated brown rice, garnished with optional 2 tablespoons sesame seeds.

Notes

For an extra pop of flavor, a dash of rice vinegar or sriracha can be added to the sauce. Ensure your chosen teriyaki sauce is gluten-free if that's a dietary concern.
