Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Bowls
- 1.5 lbs chicken breasts, diced
- 1.5 tbsp sesame oil, divided
- 4 cups frozen stir-fry vegetables
- 2 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds, for garnish
Homemade Teriyaki Sauce (yields 1 cup)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1.5 tbsp raw honey
- ⅓ cup coconut aminos
- ½ cup vegetable or chicken broth
- ½ tbsp gluten-free flour
Instructions
- Prepare the Teriyaki Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, grated ginger, raw honey, coconut aminos, vegetable or chicken broth, and gluten-free flour until fully combined and smooth, setting the sauce mixture aside.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken breasts and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
- Cook the Vegetables: Push cooked chicken to the side of the skillet and add the remaining 0.5 tablespoon sesame oil. Add frozen stir-fry vegetables to the skillet and sauté until heated through and tender-crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
- Combine and Simmer: Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce over the chicken and vegetables in the skillet. Stir to coat everything evenly. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked brown rice or quinoa between serving bowls. Top with the teriyaki chicken and vegetable mixture. Garnish each bowl with 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds.
Notes
- Use chicken thighs instead of breasts for a juicier texture.
- Adjust the sweetness of the teriyaki sauce by adding more or less honey to taste.
- Vegetables can be fresh instead of frozen; adjust cooking time accordingly.
- For a gluten-free meal, ensure the gluten-free flour and coconut aminos are certified gluten-free.
- Optional toppings include sliced green onions or chopped cilantro for added freshness.
