Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs

1 cup uncooked jasmine rice

1 cup water

1/3 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (for thickening)

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

3 green onions, chopped

1 cup steamed broccoli (or other vegetables of your choice)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Whisk until well mixed. Add the chicken thighs and marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours in the fridge).

    Cook the Rice: Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium pot, combine the rinsed rice and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for another 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

      Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and season with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken in the skillet for about 6-7 minutes on each side, until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove the chicken and let it rest for a few minutes.

        Make the Teriyaki Sauce: In the same skillet, pour in the reserved marinade and bring it to a simmer. Whisk in the cornstarch mixture and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.

          Slice the Chicken: Slice the cooked chicken into strips and return it to the skillet to coat it in the sauce for an additional minute.

            Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, add a generous scoop of jasmine rice, top with sliced teriyaki chicken, steamed broccoli, and sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.

              Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your delicious Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowl!
