Teriyaki Chicken Bowl -

If you’re looking for a delicious, easy to make chicken recipe, there’s nothing tastier than a teriyaki chicken bowl. While you can certainly simplify this recipe by using your favorite teriyaki sauce, I highly recommend trying this simple blend. If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers, the teriyaki marinade is almost better the second day!

bowl of teriyaki chicken and steamed rice

Here’s What You’ll Need:

Ingredients:

2 cups rice
1 lb chicken (I prefer thighs)
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/8 cup ketchup

Preparation:

In a medium bowl, mix together soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, and ketchup. Stir until sugar dissolves.
Cut your chicken into bite-sized pieces and marinate in the fridge for at least an hour. The longer, the better!
When ready to cook, steam your white rice. I prefer the instant pot method (2 cups rice, 2 cups water for 4 minutes on high pressure)
On medium-low heat, cook your chicken and marinade. Stir occasionally. Chicken should cook in approximately 5-7 minutes.
Serve chicken and teriyaki sauce over a bowl of rice and enjoy!

Adding Additional Flavor

When I’m craving a bit more flavor, I add 1 cup of pineapple chunks into my teriyaki marinade and a handful of red onion slivers. They cook well with the chicken and add a touch of extra flavor to the dish. Play around with your marinade ratios if you prefer your teriyaki a little less sweet. I recommend adding a tad more soy sauce or a few dashes of water to the mix to tone it down.
