Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ginger powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups cooked brown rice
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup snap peas or green beans
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, honey, olive oil, garlic powder, ginger powder, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
- Pour the marinade over the chicken thighs in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours.
- While the chicken marinates, chop the vegetables and prepare your cooking surface—grill or skillet preheated over medium-high heat.
- Remove excess marinade from the chicken and cook on the grill or skillet for about 6–8 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it into bite-sized pieces.
- To assemble your bowls: start with brown rice as the base, top with sliced chicken, pineapple chunks, bell pepper, snap peas or green beans, avocado slices, green onions, and sesame seeds.
