Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt divided
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 teaspoons sesame oil divided
  • ½ cup teriyaki sauce divided
  • ½ onion sliced
  • 1 large bell pepper sliced
  • 2 medium carrots sliced into coins
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • sesame seeds
  • sliced green onions

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Chef's Knife

Method
 

  1. Season the chicken with ½ teaspoon of kosher salt and ground black pepper.
  2. In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 teaspoons of sesame oil over medium heat. Once heated, add in the seasoned chicken pieces and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until browned. Add in 2 tablespoons of teriyaki sauce and toss with the chicken. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
  3. Add 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Then, add in the onion, bell pepper, and carrots. Sprinkle with the remaining ½ teaspoon of salt. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. Add the chicken and broccoli into the skillet. Pour in the remaining teriyaki sauce and stir to coat the chicken and veggies. Cook for a couple minutes longer until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
  5. Serve with rice and sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onion over the top.

Notes

  • Wok vs Skillet: While a wok is ideal for stir-frying due to its shape, a large skillet works just as well.
  • Prep Ahead: To save time, consider prepping your vegetables in advance. Slice them the night before and store them in the fridge.
  • Cooking Temperature: Ensure your skillet or wok is hot before adding the chicken.
  • Fresh Vegetables: Feel free to mix and match your vegetables based on what’s in season or what you have on hand.
  • Sauce Control: If you prefer a less saucy stir fry, start with half the recommended amount and add more as needed while cooking.
  • Serving Suggestions: Serve with steamed rice, but also consider noodles for a different texture and flavor profile.
