Ingredients

Servings4

Yields 4 servings

  • (1 lb) boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • (1/2 cups) teriyaki sauce
  • (3 cups) broccoli florets
  • (1 cup) jasmine rice
  • (2 cups) water
  • (2 tbsp) vegetable oil
  • (2 cloves) garlic, minced
  • (1 tbsp) fresh ginger, minced
  • (1 tbsp) sesame seeds
  • (2) green onions, sliced

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium pot, bring (2 cups) water to a boil. Add (1 cup) jasmine rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18 minutes until the rice is cooked and water is absorbed.

  2. 2

    While the rice is cooking, cut the (1 lb) chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    In a large skillet, heat (2 tbsp) vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned and fully cooked, stirring occasionally.

  4. 4

    Add (2 cloves) minced garlic and (1 tbsp) minced ginger to the skillet with the chicken. Stir and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  5. 5

    Pour (1/2 cup) teriyaki sauce over the chicken, stirring to coat evenly. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

  6. 6

    In the last few minutes of cooking, add (3 cups) broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir to combine with the chicken and cover to steam for about 3-4 minutes until the broccoli is tender but still vibrant green.

  7. 7

    Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle (1 tbsp) sesame seeds and (2) sliced green onions over the chicken and broccoli.

  8. 8

    Serve the teriyaki chicken and broccoli over the cooked jasmine rice.
