Instructions

In a bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix until well combined.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, whisk in cornstarch, and set it aside. This will give your teriyaki a great texture.
In a large skillet, heat sesame oil over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken thighs and cook for about 5–7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and golden brown.
Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken in the skillet, allowing it to simmer for an additional 3–5 minutes. This helps the chicken absorb all that delicious flavor!
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, slice it into bite-sized pieces.
While the chicken cooks, prepare your rice according to package instructions, which usually takes about 20 minutes.
In another pot or a steamer, cook your broccoli and bell pepper until they are tender yet crisp. This usually takes about 5–6 minutes.
Start with a base of rice in each meal prep container.
Add a generous serving of sliced teriyaki chicken on top.
Include the broccoli and bell peppers on the side.
Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions over everything for added crunch and flavor.

Notes

For best results, let the chicken marinate in the teriyaki sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Store in airtight containers for up to four days.
