Ingredients
  

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

1 cup fresh broccoli florets

1 cup assorted bell peppers (red, yellow, green), sliced into thin strips

1 cup snap peas, ends trimmed

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and grated

1/3 cup teriyaki sauce (your choice of store-bought or homemade)

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

2 green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)

Cooked rice or quinoa (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prep Your Ingredients: Begin by cutting the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. Rinse and chop the broccoli into small florets, slice the bell peppers into thin strips, and trim the ends off the snap peas. Having all ingredients prepped and ready will make your cooking process smooth and efficient.

    Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds, stirring frequently, until fragrant and aromatic, taking care not to let them burn.

      Cook the Chicken: Add the prepared chicken pieces to the hot skillet. Stir frequently for about 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown on the outside. Check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.

        Add the Veggies: When the chicken is nearly cooked, toss in the broccoli florets, sliced bell peppers, and snap peas. Stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the vegetables to cook until they’re tender-crisp and vibrant in color.

          Add the Teriyaki Sauce: Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Use a spatula to mix everything well, ensuring each piece is coated in the sauce. Continue stir-frying for another 1-2 minutes until everything is heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly, glistening on the delicious ingredients.

            Serve: Spoon the vibrant stir-fry mixture over a bed of fluffy cooked rice or quinoa, creating a hearty and wholesome meal. Finish off by garnishing with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, adding a delightful crunch and freshness to the dish.

              Enjoy: Serve hot and relish the harmonious blend of flavors with each delicious bite!
