Ingredients
- 2 pound chicken breast (boneless, skinless, cut into 1-inch pieces)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 yellow onion (large, diced)
- 2 clove garlic (minced)
- 1 red bell pepper (sliced)
- 1 head broccoli (cut into small florets)
- 0.5 cup teriyaki sauce
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ginger (freshly grated)
- 3 cup white rice (uncooked)
- 4 cup water
- 2 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, cornstarch, and grated ginger. Set aside.
- Prepare the rice: In a medium saucepan, combine the 3 cups of white rice and 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until water is absorbed and rice is tender. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
- While the rice cooks, heat the 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the 2 pounds of chicken breast and cook for 5-7 minutes, until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Add the diced yellow onion, minced garlic, sliced red bell pepper, and broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, until vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes, until the sauce thickens and coats all ingredients.
- Serve the chicken and vegetable stir-fry immediately over the cooked white rice. Garnish with sesame seeds, if desired.
Notes
