Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts), cut into bite-sized pieces

2 cups cooked white or brown rice

1/4 cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 inch ginger, grated

1 cup broccoli florets

1 cup bell peppers, sliced (any color)

1/2 cup carrots, julienned

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine chicken pieces with teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Let it marinate while you prep the vegetables, ideally for 10-15 minutes.

    Cook the Vegetables: In a large skillet or wok, heat vegetable oil and sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli, bell peppers, and carrots. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Remove the veggies from the skillet and set aside.

      Cook the Chicken: In the same skillet, add the marinated chicken and cook over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and browned, stirring occasionally.

        Combine Everything: Once the chicken is done, add the cooked vegetables back into the skillet. Stir well to combine everything and let it heat through for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld longer.

          Serve: In serving bowls, place a generous scoop of cooked rice at the bottom, then top with the teriyaki chicken and vegetable mix. Garnish with sliced green onions and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.

            Enjoy: Serve immediately while warm and enjoy this quick and delicious meal with your family!
