Teriyaki Chicken and Quinoa Bowl
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups water
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Rinse the quinoa under cold water using a fine-mesh strainer. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the quinoa is fluffy and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger. In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry.
- Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes.
- Pour the teriyaki sauce over the cooked chicken in the skillet. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and coats the chicken. Remove from heat.
- To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked quinoa among 4 serving bowls. Top with the teriyaki chicken, and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy!
