Ingredients

For the Bowls

  • 4 cups cooked white rice
  • 3 cups assorted raw vegetables broccoli, carrots, mushrooms, snow peas, bell peppers
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil divided
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Sauce

  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Instructions

For the Bowls

  • Begin by heating a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add about 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil to coat the surface or lightly brush the grill grates.
  • Season the chicken breasts on both sides with a generous pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper. Place them onto the heated surface and cook for approximately 4–5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the exterior is golden and lightly charred. Remove the chicken and cover it loosely with foil to retain warmth and moisture.
  • Drizzle the remaining teaspoon of oil into the pan or brush it over the grill again. Toss in the mixed vegetables and sauté or grill them for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender-crisp with slightly charred edges. Season the vegetables lightly with salt and pepper for enhanced flavor.

For the Sauce

  • In a small saucepan set over medium heat, combine the soy sauce, water, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and toasted sesame oil. Stir the mixture well and bring it to a gentle simmer, allowing the sugar to dissolve and the flavors to meld.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water until fully dissolved. Slowly pour this slurry into the simmering sauce, stirring continuously. Let the sauce boil for 1 minute, or until it thickens to a glossy consistency that coats the back of a spoon.

For Assembly

  • Slice the cooked chicken into bite-sized cubes or strips. Pour the warm teriyaki sauce over the chicken and gently toss to coat each piece evenly.
  • Distribute the cooked rice evenly into four serving bowls. Arrange the glazed chicken and sautéed vegetables neatly on top of the rice. Sprinkle with sesame seeds for a nutty finish and serve immediately while everything is hot and fresh.
