Teriyaki Chicken Bowl Recipe
Description
This recipe involves marinating boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a blend of soy sauce or coconut aminos, rice vinegar, water, honey, garlic, fresh ginger, and sesame oil to impart flavor and tenderness. The marinade penetrates the chicken after at least 30 minutes, ideally overnight. Grilling the chicken briefly on one side seals in juices before finishing it in a preheated oven to ensure thorough cooking without drying.
The teriyaki sauce is made separately by boiling together rice vinegar, water, brown sugar, coconut oil, soy sauce or coconut aminos, flour, garlic powder, ground ginger, and toasted sesame seeds. Simmering reduces the sauce to a glaze-like consistency that coats the chicken and cooked vegetables.
Serving the sliced chicken atop steamed rice and chopped cooked vegetables creates a balanced bowl, combining protein, grains, and veggies with the flavorful sauce. Coconut aminos offer a soy-free alternative without altering the recipe’s character.
Adjusting the sweetness by omitting honey in the marinade allows customization of the flavor profile.

- When you are ready to cook the chicken, heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Grill the smooth side of the chicken for 3 minutes, flip and immediately put into the oven to bake for 8-12 minutes depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool enough to handle.
- Thinly slice or shred the chicken and set aside.
Teriyaki Sauce
- Combine all of the ingredients for the sauce in a medium sauce pan and cook over medium heat until the mixture boils, stirring often.
