Description

Delicious meal prep bowls with tender chicken marinated in homemade teriyaki sauce, served over brown rice or quinoa and colorful stir-fry vegetables.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs chicken breasts, diced
  • 1.5 tbsp sesame oil, divided
  • 4 cups frozen stir-fry vegetables
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds, for garnish
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1.5 tbsp raw honey
  • ⅓ cup coconut aminos
  • ½ cup vegetable or chicken broth
  • ½ tbsp gluten-free flour

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken. In a bowl, combine the chicken with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and half of your teriyaki sauce. Let sit for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Cook the chicken. Heat the remaining ½ tablespoon of sesame oil in a skillet. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Stir-Fry the vegetables. Add frozen stir-fry vegetables to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes until heated through.
  4. Add the remaining teriyaki sauce. Pour over the chicken and veggies, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  5. Prepare the base. While chicken cooks, prepare your rice or quinoa according to package instructions.
  6. Assemble the bowls. In containers, layer cooked rice or quinoa, top with chicken and vegetables.
  7. Garnish with sesame seeds and additional toppings if desired.

Notes

Customize with different vegetables or swap chicken for tofu/tempeh to make it vegetarian.
