Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 bell pepper sliced into strips
- Sesame seeds for garnish optional
- 2 cups cooked brown rice
- 4 meal prep containers
- For the teriyaki sauce:
- 1/4 cup light soy sauce or 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 clove garlic peeled and minced
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil optional

Instructions
- Heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes until no longer pink. In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the teriyaki sauce. Pour the sauce into the pan with the chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens. Remove the chicken from the heat. In the same pan, add the broccoli florets and bell pepper, and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the bell pepper is slightly tender. Portion the chicken and vegetables into 4 meal prep containers, adding 1/2 cup of cooked brown rice to each. If desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds, cover, and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
