Teriyaki Chicken Meal Prep is a quick and nutritious recipe perfect for meal planning.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish
  • Cooked rice or quinoa, for serving

Instructions

  1. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Make the Marinade: In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and cornstarch (if using).
  3. Marinate the Chicken: Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces and mix well. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes, or longer for more flavor.
  4. Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken, cooking for about 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  5. Add Vegetables: Once the chicken is cooked, add the broccoli, bell pepper, and snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for an additional 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  6. Thicken the Sauce: If you want a thicker sauce, mix a little cornstarch with water and add it to the skillet. Cook for another minute until the sauce thickens.
  7. Prepare for Meal Prep: Remove the skillet from heat and let it cool slightly. Portion the chicken and vegetable mixture into meal prep containers.
  8. Serve with Rice: Add cooked rice or quinoa to each container.
  9. Garnish: Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for an added crunch and flavor.
  10. Store: Let the containers cool completely before sealing and storing them in the fridge.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken longer.
  • Use a variety of vegetables based on your preference.
  • Store in the fridge for up to 4 days.
