Ingredients

Scale

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
2–3 cloves garlic (minced)
1 inch piece fresh ginger (grated)
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 cups cooked jasmine rice
Sliced green onions (for garnish)

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to create the marinade.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and let them soak for at least 15 minutes at room temperature or up to an hour in the refrigerator.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add marinated chicken along with half of the marinade. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until fully cooked through and slightly caramelized.
