Ingredients
1 lb chicken breasts or thighs, chopped
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 orange bell pepper, sliced
1 cup broccoli florets
1 cup snow peas or sugar snap peas
1 carrot, julienned
2 green onions, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
1 tbsp sesame oil
1/2 cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
2 tsp cornstarch
2 tbsp water (for slurry)
2 cups cooked wild rice or brown rice
Instructions
1. Chop the chicken, slice the vegetables, and prep the garlic, ginger, and green onions.
2. In a large skillet or wok, heat sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sear for 5–7 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
3. Add more oil if needed, then stir-fry garlic, ginger, peppers, carrots, peas, and broccoli for 4–5 minutes until just tender.
4. Return chicken to the pan. Pour in the teriyaki sauce and toss to coat.
5. Stir in the cornstarch slurry (cornstarch + water) and simmer until the sauce thickens.
6. Serve hot over warm wild rice or brown rice. Garnish with green onions or sesame seeds.
Notes
Use frozen stir-fry vegetables if short on fresh produce—just sauté off the excess water.
Make a double batch of teriyaki sauce and store it in the fridge for up to a week.
