Ingredients
  

For the Chicken:

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces

3 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

1 tablespoon sesame oil

For the Broccoli:

3 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and black pepper, to taste

For Garnish:

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

2 green onions, sliced

Optional:

Cooked rice or quinoa, for serving

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Whisk until well blended. Add the chicken pieces, ensuring they are evenly coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, or for a more flavorful result, refrigerate for up to 1 hour.

    Cook the Chicken: Heat a large, deep skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken pieces to the skillet, reserving the marinade for later. Sauté the chicken for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is fully cooked and has a lovely golden-brown color.

      Add Broccoli: Once the chicken is cooked through, push it to one side of the skillet. On the unoccupied side, drizzle in the olive oil and add the broccoli florets. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté the broccoli for about 3-4 minutes, or until it turns a bright green color and is tender yet still crisp.

        Combine Everything: Pour the reserved marinade over the chicken and broccoli mixture. Stir everything together to evenly coat with the sauce. Allow it to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.

          Serve: Divide the teriyaki chicken and broccoli between bowls. For a complete meal, serve it over a portion of cooked rice or quinoa. Garnish each bowl with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and a handful of sliced green onions.

            Enjoy: Dig into this delightful one-pan teriyaki chicken and broccoli bowl and savor the blend of savory flavors!
