Ingredients
For the teriyaki sauce:
  • 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup raw honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
  • 1 tsp arrowroot starch
  • 3/4 cup water
For the chicken:
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
For the broccoli:
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 head broccoli, broken into florets
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
For the rice:
  • 1 cup brown rice
  • 2 cups low sodium chicken broth
Toppings:
  • green onions sliced
  • sesame seeds
Instructions
  1. To make the rice, add the uncooked rice and low sodium chicken broth to a deep pot and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until liquid is absorbed, about 20-25 minutes. Set aside to cool.

  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

  3. To make the chicken, heat olive oil in large, oven-safe skillet over high heat. Season chicken with sea salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder.

  4. Place chicken into the skillet and cook until golden-brown on both sides and cooked through, about 4-6 minutes per side. Slice the chicken into bite-size cubes and set aside. Set aside.

  5. Once hot, add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Then, add the broccoli and cook, stirring frequently, until the broccoli is almost tender and bright green. Set aside to cool.
  6. In a medium saucepan, combine low sodium soy sauce, raw honey, minced garlic, minced fresh ginger, apple cider vinegar, and crushed red pepper flakes over medium-high heat, stirring frequently.

  7. Dissolve arrowroot starch in water in a separate mixing bowl and then add to the saucepan. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring frequently, until thickened.

  8. Add the chicken to the sauce and stir to combine.
  9. To prepare the bowl, add a layer of steamed brown rice at the bottom, then the sautéed broccoli, followed by the chicken in teriyaki sauce, followed by sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
  10. Then, drizzle with the delicious teriyaki sauce over the top and and enjoy.
