Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup carrots peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper seeded and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil divided
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated

For the Teriyaki Sauce

  • 0.5 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 0.25 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional, for heat
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • In a small bowl, whisk together all teriyaki sauce ingredients (soy sauce, water, honey, rice vinegar, red pepper flakes, and cornstarch) until smooth. Set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to the skillet. Add the broccoli, carrots, and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, or until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  • Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the vegetables and stir-fry for another minute until fragrant.
  • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Give the teriyaki sauce a quick re-whisk and pour it over the chicken and vegetables. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Serve immediately over steamed rice, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.

Notes

For a gluten-free option, ensure you use tamari instead of regular soy sauce. Feel free to customize the vegetables based on what you have on hand; snow peas, mushrooms, or water chestnuts would also be delicious additions.
