Ingredients
1 pound chicken breast
2 cups cooked wild rice
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 cup broccoli florets
1 cup sugar snap peas
1 carrot, thinly sliced
½ cup green peas
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
¼ cup soy sauce
1½ tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 teaspoons cornstarch (divided)
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
Instructions
1. Cook the wild rice according to package instructions or use pre-cooked rice.
2. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, toss with 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 teaspoon cornstarch. Let marinate for 10–15 minutes.
3. While the chicken marinates, prep all vegetables and mince the garlic and ginger.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, garlic, and ginger to make the teriyaki sauce.
5. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil and cook the chicken for 5–6 minutes until golden and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
6. In the same pan, add the remaining oil and stir-fry the carrots and broccoli for 2 minutes. Then add bell peppers, snap peas, and green peas. Stir-fry for another 4–5 minutes.
7. Return the cooked chicken to the pan, pour in the teriyaki sauce, and toss everything together. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
8. Stir in the cooked wild rice and mix until fully coated and heated through. Drizzle with sesame oil, then serve hot.
Notes
Marinate the chicken with soy sauce and cornstarch for extra tender, restaurant-style texture.
