Equipment

  • Wok optional

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Chicken breasts cubed into 1"-2" chunks
  • 1 cup Shredded carrots
  • 1 Bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1 cup Broccoli florets
  • 3 Garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon Grated ginger
  • 3-4 tablespoon Canola oil

Homemade Teriyaki Sauce

  • cup Soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Rice wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoon Sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoon Honey
  • ¼ cup warm water
  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch

Instructions

  • In a large wok or skillet, heat 1-2 tablespoon preferred cooking oil on medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring often, till browned on all sides and almost cooked through, about 7-9 minutes. You will likely have to work in batches and add more oil as needed.
    2 lbs Chicken breasts, 3-4 tablespoon Canola oil
  • When all the chicken is cooked, transfer to a plate, cover loosely, and set aside.
  • Lower the heat to medium and add more oil if there isn’t much in the way of drippings left in the pan.
  • Cook the broccoli and peppers for about 5 minutes, until just beginning to soften. Add the shredded carrots, cooking for another 5-7 minutes until all the  vegetables are tender.
    1 cup Shredded carrots, 1 Bell pepper, 1 cup Broccoli florets

Prep the sauce

  • In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil and honey, whisking until well combined. In a second small cup or bowl, whisk together the water and cornstarch.
    ⅓ cup Soy sauce, 1 tablespoon Rice wine vinegar, 2 teaspoon Sesame oil, 2 tablespoon Honey, ¼ cup warm water, 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
  • Once the veggies are done, add the garlic and ginger to the pan, cooking just till fragrant, about 30-60 seconds.
    3 Garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon Grated ginger
  • Add the soy sauce mixture to the pan, then stir in the water and cornstarch mixture.
  • Return the chicken to the pan, and stir all ingredients together for 5-7 minutes. The teriyaki sauce will thicken and the chicken and vegetables will become well coated with the savory sauce.
  • Serve over a bed of cooked rice or cauliflower rice and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

Use pre-grated ginger and pre-peeled garlic to save time without affecting the flavor. You can find both in convenient tubes or jars in the spice aisle or produce section of the grocery store as well as frozen into cubes in the freezer section.
Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
