Ingredients for Chicken Teriyaki Bowls

Chicken: Use boneless skinless chicken breasts or chicken thighs for this recipe. You can also use shrimp or salmon.

Teriyaki Sauce: Use the homemade sauce below or a store-bought sauce. Homemade teriyaki sauce is easy to make with ingredients like soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger. If using a prepared sauce, ensure it’s a thick sauce like La Choy.

Vegetables: I love steamed broccoli or other fresh stir-fried vegetables such as snap peas, bell peppers, or edamame.

For Serving: I love to spoon this teriyaki chicken over brown or white rice. It’s also great with other grains, cauliflower rice, or chow mein noodles.

Topping & Variations

The toppings are where the fun begins!

  • Fresh: coleslaw mix, shredded carrots, cucumbers, cilantro
  • Bold: pickled red onions, lime wedges
  • Spicy: sriracha
  • Nutty: toasted sesame seeds, chopped cashews, toasted almonds

How to Make Teriyaki Chicken Bowls

  1. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and cook (recipe below).
  2. Make the sauce and whisk until bubbly; return the chicken to the pan and heat with the sauce.
  3. Divide chicken and broccoli over each bowl and drizzle with the remaining sauce from the pan.

Garnish as desired and serve.

  • Place the broccoli florets in a medium bowl with 2 tablespoons of water. Cover with a plate and microwave for 2-3 minutes or until tender crisp.

  • Cut the chicken into bite-sized chunks and season with salt and pepper.

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook 3 minutes without stirring. Stir and continue cooking 4 minutes more or until almost cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside on a plate.

  • Add all sauce ingredients except cornstarch to the skillet. Whisk until bubbly and the brown sugar has dissolved. Combine 1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch with 1 ½ tablespoons water and drizzle into the simmering sauce while whisking until thickened. You may not need all of the cornstarch.

  • Add the chicken back into the pan and simmer 2-3 minutes or until cooked through.

  • Place ¾ cup of rice in each bowl. Divide the chicken and broccoli over the bowls. Spoon any sauce overtop and garnish as desired.

Broccoli can be cooked on the stovetop. Add ¾ water to a skillet and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add broccoli and cover, let steam 3-5 minutes.
Teriyaki Sauce: If using a prepared sauce, ensure it’s thick like La Choy.
Optional Additions:

  • Steamed veggies—broccoli, snap peas, edamame, or peppers.
  • Fresh veggies—diced cucumbers, green onions, and julienned bell peppers. 
  • Sesame seeds, chopped cilantro, lime wedges.

Teriyaki chicken bowls will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
