Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs

1/2 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger

1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water (optional, for thickening)

2 cups cooked white or brown rice

1 cup steamed broccoli florets

1/2 cup shredded carrots

1/4 cup sliced green onions

Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they're well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).

    Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and add it to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

      Prepare the Teriyaki Sauce: In the same skillet, pour in the reserved marinade and bring to a simmer. If you’d like a thicker sauce, add the cornstarch-water mixture and stir until the sauce thickens. Adjust sweetness or saltiness to taste as desired.

        Assemble the Rice Bowl: In serving bowls, place a generous scoop of cooked rice as the base. Arrange sliced chicken on top of the rice. Add steamed broccoli, shredded carrots, and drizzle the teriyaki sauce over the top.

          Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle sliced green onions and sesame seeds over the bowls for an added touch. Enjoy your delicious Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowl!
