Bento Teriyaki Chicken In A Hurry Food

BENTO CHICKEN TERIYAKI

Steps:

• Mix first 3 ingredients together in bowl big enough to hold the chicken. Add the chicken. Let this marinate for 30 minutes, turning over halfway through.
• Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.
• Take the chicken out and pat dry. Reserve marinade. Put chicken skin side down (if you aren't using skinless) in pan and cook until browned on that side (just a minute or two) and then flip and brown the other side.
• Pour reserved marinade over chicken and cover tightly. Lower heat and simmer until chicken is done, about 5 minutes.
• Remove cover and raise heat back to medium high. Reduce marinade until it is more of a glaze. Toss chicken in glaze to cover.
• NOTE: You could certainly substitute beef or tofu for the chicken in this recipe. Just adjust the cooking accordingly.

BENTO -- TERIYAKI CHICKEN IN A HURRY

Steps:

• Steam rice accoring to directions for your steamer. (I use a Krups with multiple bastes so 3/4 way through I can add my veggie basket to steam).
• As rice steams half way through time, grill your chicken breasts.
• When rice is 3/4 of the way cooked, steam your vegetables (at this point, chicken should be almost done).
• Baste chicken with teriyaki glaze, turning once and repeating.
• Remove from heat and allow meat to rest for 5 minutes.
• Plate rice, vegetables and sliced chicken breast.
• Drizzle additional teriyaki sauce as desired.
• Enjoy!
