Savor the delightful combination of sweet and savory in every bite of this comforting Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowl, perfect for a cozy dinner tonight!

1

Start by marinating the chicken. In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and sake. Stir until the sugar dissolves.

2

Add the boneless chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

3

While the chicken marinates, prepare your rice according to package instructions. This usually takes around 15-20 minutes.

4

After the chicken has marinated, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the marinated chicken in the skillet, reserving the marinade for later.

5

Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side until it is golden brown and fully cooked. The internal temperature should reach 75 degrees Celsius (165 degrees Fahrenheit).

6

Once the chicken is done, pour the reserved marinade into the skillet, allowing it to simmer for 2-3 minutes. This will thicken the sauce slightly.

7

Now, slice the cooked chicken into strips and set it aside.

8

In serving bowls, place 1 cup of cooked rice per bowl.

9

Arrange the sliced chicken on top of the rice and drizzle with the teriyaki sauce from the skillet.

10

Garnish with sliced green onions, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and cut pieces of nori.
