  • 75 g edamame (shelled, cooked)
  • 30 g G Hughes Sugar-Free Teriyaki Sauce
  • 5 g green onions (chopped, optional garnish)
  • 2 g sesame seeds (optional garnish)

  • Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until golden and fully cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
  • Pour the teriyaki sauce over the cooked chicken, stirring to coat evenly and heat through for 1-2 minutes.

3. Prepare the Edamame:

  • Cook 75 g shelled edamame according to package instructions (microwave, boil, or steam).

4. Assemble the Bowl:

  • Use the cooked rice as the base of the bowl.

This high-protein chicken teriyaki bowl is a flavorful, balanced meal perfect for anyone looking to hit their protein goals without compromising on taste. Using G Hughes Sugar-Free Teriyaki Sauce, this dish combines tender chicken, hearty rice, and nutrient-packed edamame into a satisfying meal. It’s easy to prepare and ideal for meal prep, making it a convenient choice for busy days. For added texture and flavor, garnish with sesame seeds and green onions, or customize it with steamed veggies like broccoli or carrots for extra fiber and nutrients. This versatile recipe is sure to become a staple in your weekly meal rotation!



Note: To make this dish even more satisfying and nutritious, consider adding a side salad or extra steamed vegetables. Increasing your fiber intake with leafy greens, cucumbers, or roasted broccoli not only enhances the overall nutritional profile but also helps keep you full longer. The additional volume from veggies can curb cravings and support digestive health, making this meal a great option for anyone focused on maintaining a healthy, balanced diet. A simple salad with a light vinaigrette or roasted veggies seasoned with garlic and olive oil pairs perfectly with the flavors of teriyaki chicken.
