Savory Teriyaki Chicken with Rice and Veggies

Ingredients

• For the Chicken Marinade:

  • 1 chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon teriyaki sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon chicken bouillon (Royco or equivalent)

• For the Stir-Fry:

  • 2 shallots, thinly sliced
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)
  • 1 cup water (or as needed)

• For Serving:

  • Cooked white rice
  • Mixed vegetables (e.g., carrots, green beans, corn), briefly boiled

Instructions

1. Marinate the Chicken:

   • Combine the chicken pieces with the teriyaki sauce, black pepper, and chicken bouillon. Allow to marinate for 2-3 hours. For best results, let it marinate for up to 8 hours if your schedule allows.

2. Prepare the Stir-Fry:

   • Heat a bit of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the sliced shallots and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant.
   • Add the marinated chicken pieces to the pan. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink and has changed color.

3. Add Sauce and Simmer:

   • Pour in the water, teriyaki sauce, and sweet soy sauce. No additional salt is needed as the sauces provide enough seasoning.
   • Let the mixture simmer until the sauce has thickened and reduced to a desirable consistency.

4. Serve:

   • Serve the teriyaki chicken over cooked white rice, accompanied by your choice of briefly boiled mixed vegetables.
