Ingredients

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into pieces

1 cup fresh broccoli florets, lightly steamed

1 cup sliced bell peppers (any color)

¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce

2 tablespoons brown sugar

12 cloves minced garlic

1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger

1 tablespoon oil (for cooking)

Cooked rice or noodles, for serving

Optional garnish: sesame seeds, chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Wash and chop vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Cut chicken breasts into uniform pieces.
  2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir until sugar dissolves completely to make the teriyaki sauce.
  3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and cook until golden brown and nearly cooked through, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add chopped broccoli and bell peppers to the skillet. Stir-fry together for 3-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  5. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Cook for an additional minute until everything is well-coated and heated through.
  6. Serve immediately over cooked rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds or green onions if desired.

Notes

  • Protein alternatives: Use tofu, shrimp, or beef instead of chicken.
  • Vegetable options: Snap peas, carrots, or mushrooms work well too.
  • Grain choices: Serve over quinoa, brown rice, or cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in a skillet or microwave with a splash of water to prevent drying.
  • To thicken sauce, add a cornstarch slurry (cornstarch mixed with cold water) while simmering.
  • Use gluten-free soy sauce (tamari) to make this recipe gluten-free.
  • Optional: Add toasted sesame seeds or chopped cashews for extra crunch.
