Begin by cooking the rice following the instructions on the packaging.
Steam the broccoli until it reaches your desired level of tenderness. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes. Set aside for later use.
Season the chicken pieces with a pinch of salt and pepper, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken pieces to the skillet. Cook the chicken until it's fully done, stirring regularly to ensure even cooking. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes.
In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine brown sugar, soy sauce, ginger, minced garlic, vinegar, and corn starch. Ensure that you whisk this mixture thoroughly until there are no visible corn starch lumps.
Add the prepared Teriyaki sauce to the cooked chicken in the skillet. Stir constantly as the sauce simmers, allowing it to thicken into a shiny, delectable glaze. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and divide it into four equal servings. Serve on bed of rice and steamed broccoli. Store each serving in an airtight container in the refrigerator for later use. Simply reheat and enjoy whenever needed.
