20 MINUTE TERIYAKI CHICKEN AND RICE RECIPE - (4.5/5)
Provided by Shannon
Number Of Ingredients 6
Steps:
- In a bowl, mix brown sugar, soy sauce, water and ketsup. Stir until well blended. Set aside. Measure out enough rice to feed your family. Pour it into a rice cooker. If you don't have a rice cooker, you can still do this on the stove, it just takes a little more watchful eye. Measure out the correct amount of liquid for your rice. For example, I do 2 cups of dry rice for my little family. This means I will need 4 cups of liquid. I should have almost a cup of teriyaki sauce mixed in my bowl. I will then need approximately 3 more cups of water. If you want a stronger teriyaki flavor simply increase the amount of sauce you prepare and decrease the extra waterm accordingly. Pour the teriyaki sauce in the rice cooker. Add the extra water. Dice the chicken and dump it in the cooker as well. Set the cooker to cook and walk away. Serve when the switch flips from "cook" to "warm", at least that's what mine does. I usually serve it with steamed veggies (that I cook in my Pampered Chef steamer) or mix the veggies right in.. Super simple and prep time is like ten minutes max.

Steps:
- In a bowl, stir together warm water, brown sugar, orange juice, soy sauce, ketchup, white vinegar, garlic, red pepper flakes, five-spice powder, and orange peel until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat, and cook and stir the chicken until the outside is golden brown and the inside is no longer pink, 10 to 12 minutes. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken, bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and cover the skillet. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While the chicken and sauce are simmering, bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Set the rice aside and keep warm.
- Whisk the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of cold water in a small bowl until smooth, and stir into the chicken and sauce, a few teaspoons at a time. Let the chicken and sauce cook for about 2 minutes to thicken, then serve over hot cooked rice, sprinkled with green onion.
