Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water (slurry)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 3 cups cooked and cooled white rice
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
  • ½ cup diced onion
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

Instructions
 

  • In a small saucepan, whisk together soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a simmer, then stir in the cornstarch slurry. Cook for 2–3 minutes until thickened, then remove from heat.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add oil. Cook chicken thighs for 5–6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
  • Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 1–2 minutes.
  • In a separate skillet or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked, then remove and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the peas, carrots, and onion. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until tender.
  • Add the cooked rice, breaking up clumps, and stir in soy sauce and sesame oil. Add the cooked eggs and mix everything together.
  • Serve the fried rice alongside the teriyaki chicken. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
