Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece fresh ginger, grated
- 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
- Sliced green onions (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Add sliced chicken breasts and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Cook the chicken: Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil. Cook the marinated chicken in one layer until golden brown on both sides (about 5–7 minutes per side) and fully cooked.
- Thicken the sauce: Remove chicken from the pan and pour leftover marinade into it. Boil over medium heat until slightly thickened (3–5 minutes), stirring often.
- Prepare the rice: Cook jasmine rice according to package instructions if not done already; fluff before serving.
- Assemble bowls: Slice the cooked chicken and place it over rice, drizzle with thickened teriyaki sauce, and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
