Chicken and Sauce
- 1 ½ lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Rice and Vegetables
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 2 cups broccoli florets, steamed
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
Spicy Mayo and Garnish
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- Heat the Oil: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, ensuring the pan is hot enough to sear the chicken for a crispy exterior.
- Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken thighs to the skillet and cook for 4–5 minutes on each side until fully cooked through and slightly crispy on the outside.
- Add Teriyaki Sauce: Pour the teriyaki sauce over the cooked chicken and allow it to simmer for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy, coating the chicken nicely.
- Slice the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest briefly, then slice into strips for easy serving.
- Prepare Spicy Mayo: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sriracha, and sesame oil, stirring well to create a creamy, spicy sauce.
- Assemble the Bowls: Begin layering cooked white rice at the base of each bowl. Top with steamed broccoli florets, shredded carrots, and sliced avocado for freshness and texture.
- Finish with Chicken and Garnish: Place sliced teriyaki chicken on top of the bowls, drizzle generously with the spicy mayo, and sprinkle sesame seeds over everything before serving.
