mirin

🥗Healthier: rice vinegar + sugar

💰Cheaper: white wine + sugar

Rice vinegar + sugar mimics the sweetness and acidity of mirin.

soy sauce

🥗Healthier: low-sodium soy sauce

💰Cheaper: tamari

Low-sodium soy sauce reduces salt intake without sacrificing flavor.

sesame oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Olive oil provides a healthier fat option while canola is budget-friendly.

chicken thighs

🥗Healthier: chicken breast

💰Cheaper: chicken drumsticks

Chicken breast is leaner, while drumsticks are often more affordable.

Spray a large skillet with cooking spray and add a dot of sesame oil.

Cut boneless chicken breast fillets into pieces.

Sprinkle about a teaspoon of garlic powder and onion powder over the chicken.

Add one clove of fresh garlic (minced) to the chicken.

Add about 3-4 tablespoons of sugar-free teriyaki sauce to the chicken.

Add one tablespoon of sugar-free syrup to the chicken.

Optionally, add about a teaspoon of red miso marinade to the chicken.

Mix all ingredients with the chicken and let marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight if possible.

Prepare basmati rice by washing 1 cup and adding it to 2 cups of water in a pot.

Bring the rice to a slight boil, cover, and cook for 17 minutes.

Heat the skillet over medium-high heat and add the marinated chicken.

Cook the chicken for a couple of minutes on each side until browned.

Add more teriyaki sauce while the chicken is cooking, if desired.

Add steamed broccoli to the skillet after the chicken is cooked.

Add a tablespoon of water to the skillet to create more sauce.

Serve the chicken and broccoli over half a cup of cooked rice, adding more sauce as desired.
