Ingredients
- 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1 tbsp garlic, minced the best garlic chopper!
- 2-3 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 1/2 tsp fresh ginger root, grated
- 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce, divided See Note 1
- 4-5 green onions, thinly sliced white and green parts
- additional sliced green onions and sesame seeds, for serving optional
Instructions
- Prep/Marinate: In a small bowl, add chicken and 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce. Stir to coat and let marinate for 15-30 minutes.
- Pan Fry: In a large skillet over medium-high, heat oil. When oil is hot, add the chicken pieces and fry until chicken is cooked through (about 3-4 minutes, depending on the size of the pieces). Remove chicken from pan and set aside.
- Cook Veggies: In the same pan, add broccoli and green onions and cook 2-3 minutes until broccoli is bright green and crisp-tender. Stir often. Add garlic and ginger and cook for another 30 seconds. Pour in remaining 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce and stir well until veggies are well-coated with the sauce.
- Add Chicken: Return the cooked chicken to the pan and give everything a big stir.
- Finish: Serve over rice or noodles with more sliced green onions and sesame seeds, to taste.
Notes
Note 1: I recommend using a good quality teriyaki sauce like Soy Vay's Veri Teriyaki. It's easily accessible at most large chain grocery stores. Look for a thicker-consistency sauce, if you can find it.
