Teriyaki Chicken Broccoli Rice Bowls
Teriyaki Chicken Broccoli Rice Bowls combine grilled boneless chicken thighs glazed with a homemade teriyaki sauce, served atop steamed jasmine rice mixed with finely processed broccoli florets. The sauce is a balance of mirin, tamari, fresh ginger, and brown sugar reduced to a glazed finish. Stringless steamed pea pods add a fresh, crisp garnish to the hearty, flavorful bowl.

Ingredients
teriyaki sauce
- 2/3 cup mirin
- 1/2 cup tamari soy sauce
- 4 lices ginger fresh
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar
chicken
- 4 chicken thigh large boneless skinless
broccoli rice
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 1 head broccoli
- tamari soy sauce
- sesame oil toasted
garnish
- 2 cups pea pods stringless, lightly steamed or blanched
Instructions
teriyaki sauce
- Put the ingredients into a small saucepan and whisk to combine. Bring to a boil, turn down the heat and gently boil (uncovered) until the sauce has reduced and thickened to a loose glaze consistency, about 10-15 minutes. Remove the ginger. Note: you're looking for something like a maple syrup.
Cup of Yum
broccoli rice
- Cook the rice according to package instructions.
- Trim the broccoli and cut in rough chunks, both stems and florets. Put into a food processor and pulse until the broccoli breaks down into small grains. Scrape down the sides of the machine if necessary. This wil not take long, about 25 pulses.
- Scrape the broccoli into the pan with the just cooked rice and stir together. Cover and let steam for a few minutes before serving.
chicken
- Meanwhile heat a grill pan over medium high heat until hot. Brush the chicken with oil and grill until well briowned on one side, then flip and cook until the meat is done (it should read 165F on an instant read thermometer.)
- Brush the chicken with a thick layer of sauce, and slice in thin slices. Divide the broccoli rice between four bowls. I like to drizzle the rice with Tamari soy sauce and a little sesame oil for flavor.
- Top with chicken and steamed pea pods. Brush with more sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
