Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) chicken breast, boneless and skinless, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 cup jasmine rice

1 cup water

1/2 cup teriyaki sauce

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

1 cup broccoli florets

1/2 cup shredded carrots

1/4 cup sliced green onions (scallions)

1 sesame seeds for garnish

1 tablespoon soy sauce (optional for added flavor)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Cook the Rice:

    - Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until it runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.

      Prepare the Chicken:

        - While the rice is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not burnt.

          Cook the Chicken:

            - Add the chicken pieces to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté the chicken for about 5-7 minutes, or until it is cooked through and slightly browned.

              Add Vegetables:

                - Stir in the broccoli florets and shredded carrots, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

                  Incorporate Teriyaki Sauce:

                    - Pour the teriyaki sauce (and optional soy sauce) over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

                      Assemble the Bowls:

                        - Fluff the cooked jasmine rice with a fork and divide it among serving bowls. Top with the teriyaki chicken and vegetable mixture.

                          Garnish:

                            - Sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds for a finishing touch.

                              Serve:

                                - Enjoy your quick and delicious teriyaki chicken rice bowls hot, and savor the blend of flavors!
