Print Recipe

Tender chicken breast in a quick homemade teriyaki sauce served over steamed rice with crisp-tender broccoli and sliced avocado for a fast, takeout-style bowl.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 3/4 cup uncooked white jasmine rice (or rice of choice)
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoons neutral oil (vegetable or avocado)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari)
  • 2 tablespoons mirin
  • 2 tablespoons sake (or substitute additional mirin)
  • 1–2 tablespoons honey (or brown sugar), to taste
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for slurry)
  • 2 tablespoons water (for cornstarch slurry, if using)
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • Sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook rice according to package directions and keep warm.[1]
  2. Whisk together soy sauce, mirin, sake, honey, minced garlic and ginger in a small bowl and set aside to make the teriyaki sauce.[1]
  3. Add 3/4 cup water to a 12-inch nonstick skillet and bring to a boil; add broccoli, cover, reduce heat and steam until crisp-tender, about 2–3 minutes; drain and keep warm.[1]
  4. Wipe skillet dry, heat oil over medium-high heat, season chicken with salt and pepper, then add to skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and cooked through, about 6–8 minutes.[1]
  5. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and bring to a simmer; cook until bubbling and slightly thickened, about 2–4 minutes; if sauce needs thickening, stir 1 tablespoon cornstarch into 2 tablespoons water and add slurry, simmer until thickened.[2][1]
  6. To assemble bowls: spoon cooked rice into bowls, top with teriyaki chicken, steamed broccoli and sliced avocado; garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired.[1]

Notes

1) Steam broccoli briefly so it remains bright and crisp-tender.2) Adjust sweetness of sauce to taste; add cornstarch slurry only if needed to thicken.3) Swap chicken thighs for more flavor or use brown rice for whole-grain option.[1][3][2]
