Grilled Teriyaki Chicken Bowls
Here is a recipe I’ve been meaning to share for probably the last three years. It’s much like an entree I order at a local restaurant (Rumbi, for anyone from Utah or Idaho), and I love being able to make it at home. I also love that this recipe doesn’t require any marinating and therefore it comes together pretty quickly, especially if you happen to have leftover rice. Another great thing is that you’ll likely have some left over teriyaki sauce from this recipe to use for grilled chicken, salmon or beef the next day. Whether it be a rice bowl, a noodle bowl, a loaded salad bowl, a big bowl full of pasta, a breakfast bowl (is that a thing? It should be!), entree bowls are always just good comfort food and you can always count on them to be loaded with goodness! I recently read in article in the New York Times about how bowls are becoming much more commonplace at dinner, and it just makes sense. They can pack a lot in, they can be used for just about anything, they’re more couch-friendly than a plate, and many foods often look better in a bowl then they do piled on a plate. I know I need to order more big bowls because I love the idea of dinner in a bowl, like this teriyaki chicken bowl recipe. So grab yourself some big bowls and fill them up with these perfectly delicious grilled chicken teriyaki bowls!
Teriyaki Bowl Ingredients
For the homemade teriyaki sauce, you’ll need:
Low-sodium soy sauce Water Light brown sugar Honey Garlic Ginger Rice vinegar Cornstarch
And for the teriyaki chicken bowls, you’ll need:
Olive oil Chicken breasts Pepper Zucchini Matchstick carrots Broccoli Rice, for serving Sesame seeds, optional
How to Make Grilled Teriyaki Chicken Bowls
Whisk together teriyaki sauce ingredients in small saucepan and cook until thickened slightly. Grill chicken until cooked through, then cube. Sauté zucchini, carrots, and broccoli in an oiled skillet until crisp-tender. Assemble bowls — add rice to bottom of bowl, follow by veggies and grilled chicken pieces. Drizzle with homemade teriyaki and garnish with sesame seeds.
Can I Make This With Frozen Vegetables?
Yes, you can use frozen vegetables instead of fresh for this recipe. Just make sure to cook the veggies before adding them to your teriyaki bowl.
Can I Bake the Chicken Instead of Grilling?
Yes, if you don’t have a grill you’re welcome to bake the chicken. You can even use leftover chicken in this recipe, or rotisserie chicken!
Tips for the Best Teriyaki Chicken Bowls
You don’t need additional salt in this recipe as the homemade teriyaki is plenty salty. Feel free to use different veggies than this recipe calls for. Snap peas and bell peppers would pair nicely with the teriyaki! If you have leftovers, store the teriyaki sauce separately from the chicken and veggies.
