Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or sesame oil
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced (any color)
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned
  • 1 cup snap peas or broccoli florets
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 2 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower rice) for serving
For the Teriyaki Sauce
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup for a vegan option
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water (optional for thickening)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by chopping your chicken into even bites. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Set aside.
Cooking
  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the chicken to the hot pan in a single layer and sear undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes, then stir and cook for another 3-4 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Toss in the bell pepper, carrot, and snap peas. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Pour in your homemade teriyaki sauce and stir everything together. If using cornstarch for thickening, add it now and cook for an additional minute.
  5. Sprinkle the green onions on top and give it one last stir before serving.
