Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup jasmine rice

1 ¾ cups water or chicken broth

½ cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

2 green onions, finely chopped (for garnish)

1 cup mixed vegetables (such as broccoli florets, sliced bell peppers, and snap peas)

1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Cook the Rice: Start by rinsing the jasmine rice thoroughly under cold running water until the water appears clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with 1 ¾ cups of water or chicken broth. Bring this mixture to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for approximately 15 minutes until all the liquid is absorbed. After cooking, remove from heat and let it rest, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. Fluff the rice gently with a fork to separate the grains.

    Prepare the Chicken: While the rice is cooking, take the chicken breasts and slice them into bite-sized pieces. Season the pieces generously with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.

      Cook the Chicken: Heat the vegetable oil and sesame oil together in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken pieces to the skillet. Stir-fry the chicken for about 5-7 minutes, or until it is fully cooked through and has developed a light golden brown color.

        Add Mixed Vegetables: Once the chicken is cooked, add the mixed vegetables to the skillet with the chicken. Stir-fry everything together for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the vegetables to cook but remain tender and crisp.

          Incorporate Teriyaki Sauce: Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken and vegetables, stirring thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well-coated. Continue to cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and envelop the chicken and veggies.

            Assemble the Bowl: To serve, spoon a substantial amount of the cooked jasmine rice into each bowl. Top the rice generously with the teriyaki chicken and vegetable stir-fry mixture, allowing the vibrant colors to show through.

              Garnish and Serve: Finish off your dish by sprinkling the chopped green onions and sesame seeds on top. Serve the Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowl immediately for a warm and delicious meal!
