Teriyaki Chicken Stirfry

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb chicken breast (cut into bite-sized pieces)
• 0.5 cup soy sauce
• 0.25 cup water
• 0.25 cup brown sugar (packed)
• 0.5 tsp ground ginger
• 0.25 tsp garlic powder
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil (divided)
• 2 cup broccoli florets
• 1 red bell pepper (sliced)
• 1 cup snap peas
• 4 cup cooked white rice (for serving)

Steps

1. 1

   In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, water, brown sugar, ground ginger, garlic powder, and cornstarch until the sugar and cornstarch are fully dissolved to create the teriyaki sauce.

2. 2

   Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

3. 3

   Add the chicken breast pieces to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

4. 4

   Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the same skillet. Add the broccoli, red bell pepper, and snap peas.

5. 5

   Stir-fry the vegetables for 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp and vibrant in color.

6. 6

   Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables.

7. 7

   Give the teriyaki sauce a quick whisk and pour it over the chicken and vegetables.

8. 8

   Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened and coats everything evenly.

9. 9

   Serve immediately over warm cooked white rice.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can garnish with sesame seeds or sliced green onions. If you prefer a thinner sauce, add a splash more water at the end.
