  • 1 cup uncooked jasmine rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 lb chicken breast, diced

  • 1 cup broccoli florets

Instructions
 

  • 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.
