A quick and easy teriyaki chicken bowl featuring homemade sauce and fresh edamame, perfect for a wholesome and comforting meal in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons pure honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 cup shelled fresh or frozen edamame (thawed if frozen)
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice or soba noodles

Instructions

  1. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces (about 1-inch cubes). Mince garlic and grate fresh ginger. Slice green onions thinly for garnish. Thaw frozen edamame in warm water and drain well if using frozen.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil until well combined.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a light drizzle of oil. Add chicken pieces in a single layer and cook for 4-5 minutes on one side without stirring to get a nice sear. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through.
  4. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken in the skillet and stir to coat all pieces evenly. Let it simmer for 2 minutes to warm through.
  5. Mix cornstarch with cold water to create a slurry. Pour into the skillet and stir continuously until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
  6. Add the shelled edamame and stir well to combine. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until edamame is heated through but still bright green and slightly firm.
  7. Spoon the teriyaki chicken and edamame mixture over cooked jasmine rice or soba noodles. Sprinkle with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
  8. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

If sauce gets too thick, add a splash of water or broth to loosen it without diluting flavor. Avoid overcrowding the pan when cooking chicken to get a perfect sear. Fresh ginger is preferred for best flavor. Use tamari for gluten-free version. For vegan option, substitute chicken with tofu and honey with maple syrup or agave.
