Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup jasmine rice

1/4 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup honey or brown sugar

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1 tablespoon cornstarch (mixed with 2 tablespoons water)

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 cup broccoli florets

1 carrot, julienned

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Rice: Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, add 1 cup of rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

    Prepare the Chicken: While the rice is cooking, cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.

      Make the Teriyaki Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey (or brown sugar), rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and ground ginger.

        Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes until it’s browned and cooked through.

          Add Vegetables: Toss in the broccoli florets and julienned carrot to the skillet with the chicken. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.

            Thicken the Sauce: Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

              Assemble the Bowl: Serve a generous scoop of the jasmine rice in a bowl, top it with the teriyaki chicken and vegetable mixture.

                Garnish: Finish with a sprinkle of sliced green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and a pop of color.
