Healthy Teriyaki Chicken Bowl

Ingredients

• 2 chicken breasts
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp pepper
• 1 tbsp onion powder
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 3 tbsp honey
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tsp minced garlic
• 1 tsp ginger powder
• 1 tsp rice vinegar
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 2 cup cooked broccoli
• 1 cup cooked white rice
• 0.5 avocado
• sesame seeds (optional garnish)
• green onions (optional garnish)

Steps

1. 1

   Season the chicken breasts evenly on both sides with 2 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper, 1 tbsp onion powder, and 2 tsp garlic powder.

2. 2

   Place the seasoned chicken in the air fryer and cook at 385°F (195°C) for 13-15 minutes, flipping the breasts halfway through the cooking time.

3. 3

   In a small bowl, whisk together the 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tsp minced garlic, 1 tsp ginger powder, 1 tsp rice vinegar, and 1 tsp sesame oil to create the teriyaki sauce.

4. 4

   Optional: For a thicker glaze, pour the mixed teriyaki sauce into a small nonstick saucepan and simmer over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.

5. 5

   Once the initial air frying is complete, brush the chicken breasts generously with the teriyaki sauce.

6. 6

   Return the glazed chicken to the air fryer and cook at 400°F (205°C) for an additional 2-4 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and caramelized.

7. 7

   Assemble 2 bowls by dividing the cooked white rice and cooked broccoli evenly between them.

8. 8

   Slice the teriyaki chicken and place it over the rice and broccoli, then top each bowl with slices of avocado.

9. 9

   Optional: Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.

Notes

To thicken the sauce more effectively, you can add a small cornstarch slurry (1/2 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1/2 tsp water) while simmering. For meal prep, store the avocado separately to prevent browning.
