Teriyaki Chicken Bowl Recipe
Ingredients
Method
- Prep the chicken, trim the excess fat from the meat. Place the chicken in a bowl, and pat dry with a paper towel if needed.
- Drizzle a little olive oil over the chicken. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and paprika.
- Mix everything together & set aside/marinate.
- In a skillet, add a small drizzle of olive oil and allow it to get hot over medium high to high heat.
- Add the chicken and allow it to cook until it reaches 165°F. Make sure to flip the chicken over halfway through cooking time.
- Note: The cooking time will vary, use a thermometer if you’re unsure of doneness.
- Once the chicken is properly cooked, remove from skillet and cut into smaller pieces.
- Add back to the pan, then add the teriyaki sauce.
- Coat the chicken into the sauce for a minute or two and serve when ready.
- Add the cup of rice to a bowl and rinse under cool water to remove excess starch.
- Gently swirl the rice under the cool water which will turn cloudy. Pour only the water out and continue the rinsing process until the water runs clear.
- In a pot, add fresh water and allow the water to come to a boil. Add butter or olive oil, add the rice and mix everything together.
- Place a lid over the pot, lower the heat and allow the rice to simmer for 20 to 25 minutes.
- Once the rice is done, fluff with a fork and season to your liking.
- Prep the broccoli beforehand. Give a rinse if needed, then add the broccoli in a baking pan.
- Drizzle a little olive oil over the broccoli. Add the roasted garlic and herb, salt, pepper, fresh or jar minced garlic, and a pinch of fresh lemon juice.
- Toss everything together and bake uncovered at 350°F for 20 to 25 minutes.
- Note: The cooking time will vary, but the broccoli should be crisp and tender when done. It should not be mushy or tough.
- Once the broccoli is done, remove it from the oven.
