1 Cutting board
- 1 cup uncooked jasmine rice
- 2 cups water
- 1 lb chicken breast, diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Begin by rinsing the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken breast and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Add the sliced red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and snow peas to the skillet. Stir-fry the mixture for an additional 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are vibrant and tender but still crisp.
Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken and vegetable mixture, stirring to coat everything evenly. Cook for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
To serve, divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Top each bowl with the chicken and vegetable teriyaki mixture. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
You can customize this recipe by adding other vegetables like carrots or zucchini.
For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken with tofu and use a vegetarian teriyaki sauce.
Serve with additional teriyaki sauce on the side for extra flavor.
