Instructions

Preheat the oil - Add ½ cup oil to a large skillet over medium low heat.Begin making rice according to package instructions if not using leftover rice.
Start by making the chicken. Butterfly the chicken and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add flour to one bowl, beaten eggs to another bowl, and panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
Dip the chicken in the flour, then the eggs, then in the breadcrumbs.Increase the heat to medium heat and place the chicken into the oil and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove chicken from the skillet and place on a paper towel or wire rack to cool.
Remove leftover oil from the pan and add a drizzle of olive oil. Stir fry veggies of choice for 5-6 minutes.Make the sauce - combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, an cornstarch in a small bowl. Add to a sauce pan and whisk constantly. Cook on low heat for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce has thickened. If sauce becomes too thick, whisk in a ¼ cup of water.
Add rice to a bowl and top with veggies and chicken. Pour teriyaki sauce on top and garnish with green onions and red pepper flakes (optional).

Notes

Quick Tips

If you don't want to fry the chicken, simply cut the chicken into chunks and cook in the pan until browned and add the sauce.

Be sure to cook the teriyaki sauce over low heat. The sugars caramelized quickly and the sauce thickens quickly so be sure not to burn the sauce. Whisk constantly!
