Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3 Tbsp packed light-brown sugar
  • 3 Tbsp honey
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 Tbsp minced ginger
  • 1 Tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 3 1/2 Tbsp olive oil (divided, plus more for brushing grill)
  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 medium zucchini (diced into half moons and quartered)
  • 1 1/2 cups matchstick carrots
  • 2 1/2 cups small diced broccoli florets
  • 1 1/2 – 2 cups white or brown rice (cooked according to package directions; short grain brown rice is preferred)
  • Sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the teriyaki sauce by combining soy sauce, water, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, minced ginger, and rice vinegar in a mixing bowl. Whisk until blended. In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch with cold water and add to the sauce to thicken.
  2. Marinate chicken in half of the teriyaki sauce for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked.
  4. Sauté zucchini, carrots, and broccoli in olive oil over medium heat until tender-crisp (about 5-7 minutes).
  5. Assemble bowls with cooked rice as the base, topped with grilled chicken slices and sautéed veggies. Drizzle with remaining teriyaki sauce.
