Preparation

Step 1

In a small saucepan, mix the Teriyaki sauce ingredients over medium to low heat, until thickened, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.

In a large heavy bottom sauce pan, over medium to high heat, add the olive oil. Add the chicken and carrots and cook stirring occasionally until almost tender, about 6-8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook further for another minute. While the chicken is cooking, place the broccoli on a safe microwave dish and microwave for 3-4 minutes.

Add the Teriyaki sauce to the chicken and carrots and stir for about 1-2 minutes or until it thickens. Turn heat off and add the broccoli and pepper flakes if using. Stir to combine. Serve over brown rice or rice noodles.
