Notes

Chicken thighs can be substituted for juicier meat. Don't overcook the broccoli by adding it in the last 30 minutes to keep it crisp-tender. Use a high-quality teriyaki sauce for the best flavor. Serve over rice with sesame seeds and green onions for garnish. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
