Ingredients
300 g chicken breast or thighs
1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
2 cups cooked wild rice
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 cup snap peas
1 cup broccoli florets
1 carrot, julienned
2 green onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for cooking)
Instructions
1. Chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces; slice bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots; mince garlic and ginger. Cook wild rice as per package instructions.
2. Heat oil in a skillet or wok over medium-high. Sear chicken until golden and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove and set aside.
3. In the same pan, sauté garlic and ginger for 30 seconds. Add bell peppers, snap peas, broccoli, and carrots. Stir-fry 3-4 minutes until crisp-tender.
4. Return chicken to the pan. Pour in teriyaki sauce, toss, and simmer 2-3 minutes until glazed.
5. Serve over wild rice, topped with green onions and a drizzle of sesame oil if desired.
Notes
For a vegetarian version, swap chicken for tofu or tempeh (pressed and pan-fried).
You can substitute wild rice with jasmine, basmati, or even noodles.
Make homemade teriyaki sauce with soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and rice vinegar.
