Variations of this recipe

Add veggies. I stick with using sugar snap peas most of the time but you can also add carrots and broccoli.

Make it Low Carb. You can use sugar substitutes in the teriyaki sauce. You can also change the rice to cauliflower rice.

Teriyaki Sauce. I like using homemade but you can use store bought if that is what you have on hand.

Use Instant Pot Chicken Teriyaki. If you are short on time or just love your Instant Pot, instead of cooking the chicken on the stove you can cook it in the Instant Pot and then add the rice and veggies when the chicken is done cooking.

Change up the rice. I normally make teriyaki chicken bowls with white rice but you can also serve it with garlic rice or fried rice.

Can I make this ahead of time?

If you want to make it ahead of time for a family meal cook everything and store the rice in one container and the teriyaki chicken in another. When it is time to serve, reheat the rice in the microwave and the chicken in a skillet for a few minutes on the stove or in the microwave.

Ingredients for Chicken Teriyaki Bowl

1 pound chicken breast, cut into 1-inch chunks
1/3 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/3 cup teriyaki sauce
2 cups Sugar snap peas, steamed
2 cups cooked rice
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
1 green onion, thinly sliced

How to Make Chicken Teriyaki Bowl

Combine the chicken and soy sauce in a ziptop bag. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

While the chicken is marinating, make the rice. You can cook it your preferred way, but I love making baked rice because it is so easy.

Heat the canola oil in a wok or large saute pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil has heated up cook the chicken until 160 degrees internal, about 10 minutes.

While the chicken is cooking steam the sugar snap peas in the microwave. I use a microwave veggie steamer.

Combine the teriyaki sauce and snow peas in the pan with the chicken.

Serve over the rice and top with sesame seeds and green onions.
