For the Teriyaki Sauce:

  • 1/3 cup soy sauce (low sodium)
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water

For the Chicken:

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Crispy Brussels Sprouts:

  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Bowls:

  • 2 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower rice)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • Optional toppings: sliced avocado, sriracha, or pickled ginger

Instructions

1. Make the Teriyaki Sauce

  • In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger.
  • Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it begins to simmer.
  • Mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to form a slurry. Gradually whisk it into the sauce.
  • Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.

2. Roast the Brussels Sprouts

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
  • Spread the sprouts on the baking sheet in a single layer, cut side down.
  • Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy.

3. Cook the Chicken

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Season the diced chicken with salt and pepper, then add it to the skillet.
  • Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and slightly browned.
  • Pour half of the teriyaki sauce over the chicken and simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to glaze the chicken. Remove from heat.

4. Assemble the Bowls

  • Divide the cooked rice evenly among four bowls.
  • Top each bowl with a portion of the teriyaki chicken and roasted Brussels sprouts.
  • Drizzle with the remaining teriyaki sauce.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Add any optional toppings if desired.
