Ingredients
Scale
-
Grilled Teriyaki Chicken:
- 1/4 – 1/3 cup soy sauce (tamari for gluten-free)
- 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- kosher salt & ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cups broccoli florets, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup teriyaki sauce, divided (store-bought or homemade)
Rice Bowl Ingredients:
- 4 cups cooked rice
- 2 cups mini cucumbers, sliced and quartered
- 1 cup carrots, julienned
- 1 cup edamame, thawed
- 1 cup red cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1 avocado, diced (more, if desired)
- 1/2 cup green onions, sliced
Instructions
- Marinate Chicken: Put the soy sauce and chicken thighs in a large bowl or storage bag; toss to coat. Let marinate for 15-30 minutes.
- Prep: Preheat outdoor grill to a medium-high heat and clean grill grates.
- Broccoli: Place the broccoli in a large bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a generous sprinkle of salt.
- Grill: Remove the chicken from the soy sauce, allowing excess liquid to drip off. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Place directly on the hot grill grates and let cook for 2-4 minutes. Flip chicken and place the prepped broccoli on the grill on a grill pan or large piece of aluminum foil sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Let the chicken cook for another 2-4 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 162 degrees F. During the last 2 minutes of cook time for the chicken, brush on some teriyaki sauce. Toss the broccoli a few times during the cooking process and remove when cooked to your desired crispness. Remove all the chicken and broccoli when they are fully cooked.
- Rest: Let the chicken rest on a plate or cutting board for 5-10 minutes, then cut into strips or bite-sized pieces.
- Rice Bowls: Divide the rice, cucumbers, carrots, edamame, avocado, cabbage, green onion, chicken, and broccoli between bowls.
- Serve: Enjoy the rice bowl with a drizzle of the remaining teriyaki sauce!
Notes
- Teriyaki Sauce: option to pick-up your favorite store-bought teriyaki sauce or learn how to make homemade teriyaki sauce.
- Cooking Technique: highly recommend using a grill, but if it isn’t possible, you could make Stove Top Chicken Thighs and Steamed Broccoli.
- Storage: leftovers can be kept in an airtight container for 3-4 days. Be sure to keep hot items separate from cold ingredients to make reheating easier.
