Chicken Teriyaki Stir Fry Recipe
Description
The Chicken Teriyaki Stir Fry begins by seasoning chicken breast pieces with salt and pepper, then browning them in sesame oil over medium heat. Early addition of teriyaki sauce allows the chicken to absorb its flavor. Vegetables including sliced onion, bell pepper, carrots, and broccoli florets are cooked in sesame oil, seasoned lightly with salt, and combined with the chicken.
Remaining teriyaki sauce coats the mixture, finishing the cooking until broccoli turns bright green and remains tender-crisp. The stir fry balances the rich, savory teriyaki glaze with firm yet softened vegetables and juicy chicken. Sesame seeds and chopped green onions add mild nuttiness and fresh herbal notes as a finishing touch.
Served alongside rice, this dish provides a balanced meal with protein and vegetables. The cooking sequence allows each element to develop texture and flavor, and the division of teriyaki sauce application prevents overpowering saltiness while ensuring even coverage.
It can be stored in an airtight container refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for 3 months, making it convenient for meal prep or leftovers.
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds chicken breast cut into bite-sized pieces
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 3 teaspoons sesame oil divided
- ½ cup teriyaki sauce divided
- ½ onion sliced
- 1 large bell pepper sliced
- 2 medium carrot sliced into coins
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- optional toppings sesame seeds, green onions
Instructions
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
- Heat 2 teaspoons of sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Once heated, add in the chicken pieces and cook for 4-5 minutes until browned. Add in 2 tablespoons of the teriyaki sauce and toss with the chicken. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
- Add in 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Then, add in the onion, bell pepper, and carrots. Sprinkle with salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the chicken and broccoli into the skillet. Pour in the remaining sauce and stir to coat the chicken and veggies. Cook for a couple minutes longer until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
- Serve with rice and sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onion over the top.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container refrigerated up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Apply teriyaki sauce in two stages to evenly coat chicken and vegetables without overpowering flavor.
- Cook vegetables until broccoli is tender-crisp and bright green to preserve texture and color.
