Prepare this flavorful, glossy teriyaki chicken stir fry quickly for a fast weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons cold water (for slurry)
  • Cooked rice or noodles, for serving
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, 1/2 cup water, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and sriracha (if using). Set aside.
  2. In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch and 3 tablespoons of cold water until smooth to create a slurry. Set aside.
  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
  4. Add the broccoli florets and red bell pepper to the same skillet. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  5. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the vegetables. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables. Bring the sauce to a simmer.
  7. Whisk the cornstarch slurry one more time and slowly pour it into the simmering sauce while stirring constantly. Continue to cook and stir until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy, about 1 minute.
  8. Remove from heat immediately. Serve the sticky teriyaki chicken stir fry over rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds.

Notes

  • For faster cooking, cut the chicken into smaller pieces before you begin.
  • You can substitute broccoli with other quick-cooking vegetables like snap peas or sliced carrots.
  • To achieve a thicker glaze, add an extra teaspoon of cornstarch to the slurry mixture.
