Ingredients

1.5 pound chicken breast (boneless, skinless, cut into 1-inch pieces)
6 green onions (cut into 1-inch pieces)
2 cup sugar snap peas (trimmed)
1 tablespoon avocado oil
0.25 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoon mirin
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
3 clove garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
2 cup brown rice (cooked)
1 teaspoon sesame seeds (toasted)

Instructions

In a measuring cup or small bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast pieces in a single layer and sear undisturbed for 3 minutes until lightly browned.
Stir the chicken, add the green onion pieces and sugar snap peas, and sauté for 3 minutes until the vegetables become tender-crisp and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Pour the yakitori sauce into the hot skillet. Let the sauce boil and reduce vigorously for 2 to 3 minutes, tossing constantly until a glossy glaze coats every bite of chicken and vegetables.
Divide the warm brown rice among four plates, spoon the glazed yakitori chicken and vegetables over the top, and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.

Notes

Pre-cooked microwave brown rice pouches save time on busy weeknights without sacrificing whole grains.
