Chicken Teriyaki Stir Fry with Homemade Teriyaki Sauce

4 chicken breasts, cooked, then chopped into bite sized pieces (option: cooked in crock pot throughout the day so you don't have to worry about cooking it when you put your dinner together)
1 medium red pepper, chopped
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 handfuls baby carrots, chopped (used my food chopper for this)
1 1/2 cups frozen baby peas
4 cups frozen broccoli florets, roughly chopped

2 1/2 cups instant brown rice, cooked per directions

In large bowl pan, saute red pepper, onion, garlic and carrots til tender. Add in frozen peas and frozen broccoli. Cook 10 minutes. Add in cooked chicken and pour in teriyaki sauce. Let simmer for a few minutes.

Homemade Teriyaki Sauce (I doubled this sauce recipe)

1/4 c low sodium soy sauce
1 cup water
1-2 tsp freshly grated ginger
2 Tbls honey
1 garlic clove, minced
2 Tbls cornstarch
1/4 cup cold water

In medium sauce pan mix soy sauce, water, ginger, honey and garlic. Bring to a boil. In the 1/4 cup cold water, dissolve cornstarch and slowly add to sauce pan. Stir constantly as it will thicken quickly.

Put rice on a plate, spoon a nice big giant scoop of chicken stir fry over the top. Enjoy! You could also do noodles instead of rice :)
