Cooking
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

- Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir for another 3-4 minutes until they are tender but still bright green.
- Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken and broccoli, stirring to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until well combined and heated through.
- Remove from heat and serve your stir fry over a bed of warm rice. Enjoy!
Notes
For substitutions, swap chicken breast for boneless, skinless chicken thighs. You can also use other veggies like bell peppers or snap peas. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month. Reheat on the stovetop over low heat with a splash of water or chicken broth.
