Main Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth

Teriyaki Sauce

  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic minced

Garnishes

  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic until well combined.

Cooking

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned on all sides.
  • Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken and stir well. Add the rinsed rice and chicken broth. Stir to combine.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and let simmer for 20–25 minutes, until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid.

Serving

  • Stir in sliced green onions and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.

Storage

  • Allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
