Description
This Teriyaki Chicken Stir-Fry is a quick, colorful, and flavorful dinner featuring juicy chicken, crisp vegetables, and a glossy homemade teriyaki sauce served over wild rice. It’s perfect for weeknights and easy to meal-prep or freeze for later.
Ingredients
1 lb chicken breast or thighs, cut into chunks
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
1 cup broccolini, trimmed
1 cup snap peas
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tbsp brown sugar or honey
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp cornstarch
2 cups cooked wild rice blend
1 tsp sesame oil
Instructions
1. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and chop all vegetables evenly. Mince garlic and grate ginger.
2. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar or honey, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and cornstarch to create the teriyaki sauce.
3. Heat oil in a wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken until golden and fully cooked. Set aside.
4. In the same pan, stir-fry bell peppers, broccolini, and snap peas for 3–4 minutes until crisp-tender.
5. Return chicken to the pan, pour in the teriyaki sauce, and cook until the sauce thickens and coats all ingredients.
6. Serve over wild rice and drizzle with sesame oil. Optionally garnish with green onions or sesame seeds.
Notes
Use chicken thighs for a juicier, richer flavor.
Don’t overcook the vegetables—keep them crisp for best texture.
Add pineapple chunks or red pepper flakes for an exciting twist.
