Teriyaki chicken rice bowls are a great meal for summer and can actually be a pretty healthy meal. One of the main things to make it healthy is to serve it with brown rice.

One down side to brown rice is it does take longer to cook than regular white rice. However, the healthy benefits are worth the extra time. Minute rice does have a brown rice available that cooks fast and I have used that before. Usually, I just cook my brown rice in my rice cooker.

The teriyaki sauce is simple enough to make on your own. It is made from brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, garlic, and cornstarch. You just cook the chicken a skillet. Then you add the sauce ingredients and cook until thickened. So simple and easy.

Next in the vegetables. This is where you can choose what your family likes. You can also us this recipe to use up veggies you may have in the fridge that need to be used up. You just need to steam them. For easy of preparation I like to just buy the frozen stir fry vegetables that are in a steamable bag. For my WW Personal Points, this recipe is just 6 points!
