Quick & Easy Teriyaki Chicken

On bustling weeknights when time seems to be of the essence, I often lean towards recipes that are not just flavorsome but are also quick and effortless. One such lifesaver recipe is the Chicken Teriyaki Bowl. The sheer joy it brings to the kids’ faces is unmatched, and the minimal ingredient list is every busy mom’s dream come true!

Ingredients:

Chicken: About 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed to bite-sized perfection.
Onion: A small one, finely chopped.
Potatoes: 5 Idaho potatoes, peeled and cubed.
Teriyaki Sauce: The magical ingredient that ties everything together!
Let’s Dive into the Cooking Process!

Perfect Potatoes: Begin by boiling your potatoes. You’re aiming for that sweet spot where they’re tender yet firm enough to hold their shape. Remember, we’re not in mashed potato territory here!

Golden Chicken: Parallelly, in a separate frying pan, warm a dash of oil and toss in the cubed chicken. Cook until they turn a light, golden brown. Ensure they’re thoroughly cooked without any crispy edges.

Onions to the Rescue: Once the chicken is just right, sprinkle in the chopped onions. Reduce the heat to simmer. The goal is to soften the onions without letting anything get too brown or burnt.

Bringing It All Together: By now, your potatoes should be done. Drain them well and introduce them to the skillet with the chicken and onions.

Teriyaki Time: Drizzle in the teriyaki sauce. I personally love adding about 8 tablespoons, but the beauty of this dish is its flexibility. Adjust according to your preference, keeping in mind that more sauce equates to a bolder, saltier flavor.

Serving Suggestion: This hearty Chicken Teriyaki Bowl pairs wonderfully with broccoli or any veggie of your choice. Serve it up in a bowl, and let the symphony of flavors take you on a delightful culinary journey.

The result? A dish that looks as tantalizing as it tastes. The simplicity of this Chicken Teriyaki Bowl belies its depth of flavor, making it a firm family favorite. And the best part? It’s so quick and easy that it’s perfect for those nights when you want something scrumptious without spending hours in the kitchen. Give it a try, and watch it become a staple in your household too!
