Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

1/2 cup teriyaki sauce (homemade or store-bought)

2 cups Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup cooked jasmine rice

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

2 green onions, sliced

1/4 cup shredded carrots (optional)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a bowl and pour 1/4 cup of teriyaki sauce over them. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

    Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a mixing bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper until well coated.

      Roast the Brussels Sprouts: Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until they're crispy and golden brown, tossing halfway through for even cooking.

        Cook the Chicken: While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Sear the marinated chicken thighs for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C). Pour the remaining teriyaki sauce over the chicken in the last minute of cooking.

          Slice the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

            Assemble the Bowls: Start with a base of cooked jasmine rice in each bowl. Top with sliced teriyaki chicken, crispy Brussels sprouts, shredded carrots, green onions, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

              Final Touch: Drizzle a little more teriyaki sauce over the top for extra flavor.
