Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
- 2 cups cooked brown rice
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions
- In a large bowl, marinate the chicken pieces in 1/4 cup of teriyaki sauce for 10 minutes.

The Teriyaki Chicken and Brown Rice Bowl is a beloved Japanese-inspired dish that has gained popularity worldwide. This flavorful and wholesome meal typically features tender pieces of chicken marinated in a sweet and savory teriyaki sauce, served over a bed of nutty brown rice. The addition of steamed broccoli adds a healthy and vibrant element to the dish, providing a satisfying balance of flavors and textures. Originating in Japan, teriyaki sauce was traditionally used as a marinade and glaze for grilled or broiled fish. Over time, it evolved to become a versatile sauce for various proteins, including chicken. The dish has since been embraced by chefs and home cooks alike, with each adding their own unique twist to the classic recipe. In recent years, the Teriyaki Chicken and Brown Rice Bowl has become a staple in Asian fusion restaurants, where chefs infuse traditional Japanese flavors with modern culinary techniques. The dish has also found its way onto the menus of health-conscious eateries, catering to those seeking a nutritious yet delicious meal option. For the best version of this dish, look for a restaurant that prioritizes high-quality, tender chicken and a well-balanced teriyaki sauce that is not overly sweet. The brown rice should be perfectly cooked, offering a slightly chewy texture and nutty flavor. Additionally, the steamed broccoli should be vibrant green and cooked to a tender-crisp consistency, providing a refreshing contrast to the rich flavors of the chicken and rice. While the classic preparation of Teriyaki Chicken and Brown Rice Bowl remains a favorite, there are alternative methods to consider. For a healthier twist, some recipes suggest grilling or baking the chicken instead of pan-frying, and using low-sodium soy sauce to reduce the dish's overall salt content. Additionally, experimenting with different vegetables such as snap peas or bell peppers can add a delightful variety to the meal. Whether enjoyed at a bustling urban eatery or prepared at home with a personal touch, the Teriyaki Chicken and Brown Rice Bowl with a side of steamed broccoli continues to captivate food enthusiasts with its delightful blend of flavors and wholesome appeal.
