Ingredients

Teriyaki Sauce

  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup sake
  • 1/2 cup mirin
  • 1/2 cup sugar

Teriyaki Chicken Bowls

  • 1 1/2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce, plus more for brushing and drizzling
  • 1 tablespoon chili garlic paste, sambal, or sriracha
  • diamond kosher salt
  • ground white pepper
  • 4 cups steamed rice, for serving
  • 12 oz broccoli, grilled or steamed
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • sesame seeds, for sprinkling

Instructions

  • Make the teriyaki sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, sake, mirin and sugar and stir well. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat and reduce by 1/3. Let the teriyaki sauce cool completely.
  • Marinate the chicken. Add the chicken to a mixing bowl and add 1/2 cup of the teriyaki sauce and sriracha or chili garlic paste. Season with salt and white pepper. Stir well to combine, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to 24 hours.
  • Prep the grill. Before using your outdoor grill, make sure to clean the grates of any food and debris. Lightly grease the grates with nonstick spray. Set the temperature to medium-high. Close the lid and wait until the temperature reaches 450 F. Alternately, preheat a cast iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  • Cook the chicken. Grill or sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side, until cooked through, brushing liberally with more teriyaki sauce as it cooks. Remove from the heat and rest the chicken for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Assemble bowls. Divide steamed rice among bowls and top with the chicken and broccoli. Drizzle with teriyaki sauce (if desired) and top with sesame seeds and green onion.
