Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs

1/2 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup mirin (sweet rice wine)

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

2 cups cooked jasmine rice

1 cup broccoli florets

1 cup sliced bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)

2 green onions, sliced

Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, making sure they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight for extra flavor).

    Cook the Rice: Prepare the jasmine rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, set aside and keep warm.

      Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet or wok, add a splash of sesame oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the broccoli and sliced bell peppers. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp.

        Cook the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and add it to the skillet with the vegetables. Cook for 5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Pour the reserved marinade over the chicken, and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

          Assemble the Bowl: To serve, place a generous scoop of jasmine rice into a bowl, top with the teriyaki chicken and sautéed vegetables. Drizzle any remaining sauce from the skillet over the top.

            Garnish and Serve: Finish with a sprinkle of sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Enjoy your delicious Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowl hot!
