Ingredients:

– 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

– 1/4 cup soy sauce

– 1/4 cup mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)

– 2 tbsp honey

– 1 tbsp sriracha (or more if you want it extra spicy)

– 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger

– 2 tsp minced garlic

– 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

– 2 tbsp vegetable oil

– 2 cups cooked jasmine or sushi rice

– 1 cup sliced bell peppers (any color)

– 1 cup broccoli florets, steamed or blanched

– Chopped scallions and sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions:

1. In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, honey, sriracha, grated ginger, minced garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using) to create the teriyaki sauce. Mix thoroughly.

2. Place the chicken pieces into a ziplock bag or a container with a lid. Pour half of the teriyaki sauce over the chicken, reserving the other half for later use. Seal the bag or container and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least an hour or up to overnight for maximum flavor.

3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (discard the used marinade) and cook it for 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked through and slightly caramelized.

4. While the chicken is cooking, prepare your desired amount of jasmine or sushi rice according to package instructions.

5. In a separate pan, sauté the sliced bell peppers and steamed broccoli in a little vegetable oil until they are tender-crisp.

6. After the chicken is cooked, reduce the heat to low and pour in the reserved teriyaki sauce. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, ensuring that the chicken pieces are well-coated in sauce.

7. To assemble your Spicy Chicken Teriyaki Bowls, start by dividing the cooked rice into four bowls. Top each bowl with an equal portion of chicken and vegetables.

8. Finally, garnish each bowl with chopped scallions and sesame seeds before serving.
