Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Marinade:

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts)

1/4 cup soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 inch ginger, grated

1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for a thicker sauce)

For the Bowl:

2 cups cooked jasmine or brown rice

1 cup broccoli florets

1 cup carrots, thinly sliced

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1/2 cup edamame (shelled)

2 green onions, chopped

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade:

    - In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. If you want a thicker sauce, mix in the cornstarch.

      Marinate the Chicken:

        - Place the chicken in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish, and pour the marinade over it. Seal or cover, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).

          Cook the Chicken:

            - Preheat a grill, grill pan, or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for 6-7 minutes per side or until cooked through and juices run clear (internal temperature should be 165°F). Reserve the marinade for later.

              Prepare the Vegetables:

                - In a separate pot, steam or sauté the broccoli, carrots, and bell pepper until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Add edamame and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

                  Make the Sauce:

                    - While the vegetables are cooking, bring the reserved marinade to a gentle simmer in a small saucepan. Cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

                      Assemble the Bowls:

                        - In each bowl, place a serving of rice as the base. Top with sliced teriyaki chicken, steamed vegetables, and drizzle with the thickened sauce.

                          Garnish and Serve:

                            - Finish with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Enjoy your Sweet & Savory Teriyaki Chicken Bowls!
