Teriyaki Chicken Bowls

My favorite thing to cook lately has been the ingredients to make a variety of bowls. From asian style, mexican style and just a mish-mosh of whatever flavor I can combine. Basically, if it has a protein, a veggie, and a starch and I can eat it out of a bowl - I want to make it. They are easy to make and delish!

There I found myself, in the kitchen with ground chicken and unsure what to make. So, out came this simple teriyaki chicken bowl.

Bowl Ingredients:

• 1 LB ground chicken

• 1 1/2 cups brown rice

• 2 bell peppers (I used a red and green)

• 2 heads of broccoli

Teriyaki Sauce:

• 1/4 cup Soy Sauce

• Dash Salt

• Dash Pepper

• 1 tbsp. Garlic Powder

• 1/4 cup Honey

• 1/2 cup Water

• 1/4 cup Rice Vinegar

• 1 tbsp. Ginger

First, I laid out the broccoli on a sheet pan and basted it with oil, salt, and pepper and put it in the oven at 425 for about 20 mins. Next, I filled a pot with 3 cups of water and 1 1/2 cups of rice. While those cooked, I worked on the chicken and peppers.

I cooked the chicken through and then mixed in the sauce ingredients. Then, I separated the chicken into a bowl. I chopped the peppers while the chicken was cooking, and when the chicken was done, moved it to a bowl. Added the peppers to the pan and cooked them about 10 minutes.

Everything was done around the same time - so I put all of the ingredients in separate bowls to make creating the teriyaki bowls easier. First, the chicken, then rice, then broccoli, then peppers went on top. I topped each bowl with a little more soy sauce, and some hot sauce.

This recipe is so versatile, you can use any kind of meat or fish you’d like. You can even make it vegan - and substitute the meat for mushrooms, meat substitute, or beans!

If you double or triple the recipe you can have leftovers for lunch! This would also be a great recipe to have for meal prep because all of the ingredients can be grabbed quick and easy from the fridge to make easy lunches!

Enjoy!
