# Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Chicken and Rice

01 - 1 teaspoon sesame seeds for tossing on top
02 - 2 green onions, sliced up
03 - 0.5 cup carrots, cut into thin matchsticks or rounds
04 - 0.5 cup bell peppers, sliced thin
05 - 1 cup broccoli, chopped into florets
06 - 1 cup of white or brown rice, cooked
07 - 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
08 - 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed small

→ Teriyaki Sauce

09 - 0.5 tablespoon cornstarch blended with 1 tablespoon water
10 - 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
11 - 2 garlic cloves, minced
12 - 5 millilitres sesame oil
13 - 15 millilitres rice vinegar
14 - 30 millilitres honey or light brown sugar
15 - 60 millilitres low-salt soy sauce

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Scoop the hot rice into two bowls. Pile on the veggies and chicken with all that sticky sauce. Throw in some sesame seeds and chopped onions to finish.
02 - Quickly toss broccoli, carrots, and peppers on medium-high heat in your pan. Stir everything for about four minutes till they turn a little soft but still have a snap.
03 - Tip the sauce you mixed earlier into the hot chicken pan. Stir things around so every piece gets coated. Let it bubble for a couple minutes till it looks glossy and thick.
04 - Pour oil into a big skillet over medium. Drop in your cubed chicken pieces in a single layer. Let them cook, flipping now and then for about seven minutes, till they’re browned all around.
05 - Stir some soy sauce, sweetener, vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger in a small bowl. Mix cornstarch with water in another. Pour the mix into the sauce and whisk it until it’s smooth. Leave it to the side for now.

# Extra Tips and Tricks:

01 - If you want to prep ahead, keep your rice, chicken, and veggies apart. When you’re ready, just put it all together for the best texture.
02 - Swap in brown rice or even cauliflower rice to cut down on carbs.
03 - To bump up protein, try throwing in shelled edamame or cooked tofu chunks.
04 - Want it hot? Add some sriracha or shake in red pepper flakes with your sauce.
