  • Pot

Ingredients

For the Main Dish

  • 1 pound Chicken Breast Provides lean protein; swap for chicken thighs for a juicier bite.
  • 1 cup Broccoli Adds essential vitamins and crunch; substitute with bell peppers or snap peas if desired.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Ideal for sautéing; avocado oil works great for higher heat.

For the Teriyaki Sauce

  • ¼ cup Tamari or Soy Sauce Use liquid aminos for a gluten-free option.
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil Enhances overall richness.
  • 1 clove Garlic Use fresh minced garlic for best results.
  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch Thickens your sauce effectively; alternatives include tapioca or arrowroot.
  • 1 teaspoon Minced Ginger Fresh ginger elevates flavors.
  • 2 tablespoons Coconut Sugar Provides natural sweetness; brown sugar or honey can work.
  • 2 tablespoons Sesame Seeds Optional for garnish.

Instructions

How to Make 10-Minute Teriyaki Chicken & Broccoli

  • Place 1 cup of broccoli in a pot with 1 cup of simmering water. Cover and steam for about 5 minutes until tender and bright green.
  • In a bowl, whisk together ¼ cup tamari or soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 teaspoon minced ginger, and 2 tablespoons coconut sugar. Mix until smooth and set aside.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 pound of diced chicken breast and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through.
  • Pour the teriyaki sauce over the cooked chicken. Stir for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken evenly.
  • Plate the teriyaki chicken and steamed broccoli over rice or your choice of grain. Optionally, sprinkle sesame seeds on top for added texture.
