Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowl is the blog’s most popular recipe for good reason. It’s easy to make, tastes great, and is so much better than the Japanese takeout you get at your favorite restaurant. Since we frequently prepare our own teriyaki chicken at home, I decided it was time to update the pictures in the initial blog post.

A straightforward stir-fry recipe for homemade teriyaki chicken is ideal for adding to your dinner rotation. It can be prepared in less than 30 minutes from start to finish, making it suitable for any weeknight meal.

The homemade teriyaki sauce in this teriyaki chicken bowl is my favorite part. It incorporates straightforward fixings, for example, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, and ground ginger. Crushed red pepper flakes can be added to your teriyaki sauce if you like it spicy. When you make this natively constructed teriyaki sauce, you won’t ever purchase locally acquired from now onward. It’s so good!

For dinner later in the week, I love to make extra teriyaki sauce and serve it over grilled salmon or tender beef. It tastes great on a wide range of proteins and is so adaptable.

Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowl Ingredients

  • Chicken Breasts with No Bones and No Skin: You can use chicken thighs, but I prefer to use chicken breasts.
  • Olive Oil: For its health benefits, I prefer to use extra virgin olive oil, but you can also use vegetable oil.
  • Soy Sauce with Low Sodium: This recipe will contain less salt thanks to the use of low-sodium soy sauce.
  • Water: required to make the teriyaki sauce.
  • White Sugar: makes the sauce taste sweeter. Brown sugar can be light or dark.
  • Vinegar for Rice: is a common ingredient in Asian cuisine.
  • Seed Oil: enhances the sauce’s flavor, but it’s also optional.
  • Garlic Grate: In place of garlic powder, I like to use fresh, minced garlic.
  • Ginger: This teriyaki sauce is great with ground ginger. The majority of people have it on hand and it is simple to use.
  • Honey: contributes to the sauce’s thickening and imparts a sweet flavor.
  • Cornstarch: To coat the chicken, thicken the teriyaki sauce by adding cornstarch.
  • Serving of rice: Choose from quinoa, white rice, or brown rice.
  • Serveable vegetables: Broccoli and fresh steamed carrots go well with this chicken.
