Ingredients
1 lb chicken breast or thighs
2 cups cooked wild rice
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 orange bell pepper, sliced
1 cup broccoli florets
1 cup snap peas
2 green onions, sliced
1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for cooking)
Instructions
1. Slice chicken into thin strips and chop all vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Mince garlic and ginger.
2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
3. Add bell peppers, broccoli, and snap peas to the same skillet. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp. Add garlic and ginger in the last 30 seconds.
4. Return chicken to the skillet. Pour in teriyaki sauce and stir to coat. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes to thicken.
5. Add cooked wild rice and mix gently to combine. Cook for 1–2 minutes more until warmed through.
6. Turn off heat. Drizzle with sesame oil and top with green onions before serving.
Notes
Cut your chicken and vegetables evenly so they cook at the same rate.
Use pre-cooked wild rice or cook it ahead to save time during busy nights.
Don’t skip the sesame oil at the end — it adds a rich, nutty finish that elevates the dish.
