Quick Chicken Teriyaki Rice Bowls

Are you looking for a fun and healthy quick chicken dinner? These delicious Chicken Teriyaki Rice Bowls are the answer. They are super easy to make, loaded with veggies, and free of cornstarch or any other thickeners.

I make the sauce a little sweet to go with the rice vinegar. It gives the chicken breast a nice balance of flavor and it also permeates to the rice. It’ll make every bite as tasty as the first. Gotta love those rice bowls.

Chicken breast is always my go-to protein when I need to fix dinner quickly. Since it can be cubed, sliced, or pounded thin, it’s not only versatile but ready in 15 minutes or less.

Today I stir fried mine with lot’s of colorful veggies and topped with sesame seeds. You can use whatever vegetables you have on hand or a frozen medley.

Mine were carrots, edamame, and broccoli. You can also add peppers, onions, snow peas, water chestnuts, etc.

Just like the Ben’s Beginners program, I concur that cooking with kids and involving them in the production of meals will encourage them to eat healthier throughout their life.

By cooking alongside with me they learn all about measuring and encourages them to be creative.

While cooking, I explained to them that chicken needs to be cooked all the way, otherwise it could make them sick. I also told them the importance of caramelization in terms of flavors. They loved the lesson.
