Instructions

  • STEP 1

    Using a strainer or colander, rinse the rice under cold, running water, then cook according to package instructions. Once done, remove rice from the heat and let it stand, still covered, for 5 minutes.

    • 1 cup jasmine rice
    • 2 cups water
  • STEP 2

    Meanwhile, preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add chicken and grill until charred on one side, 6-9 minutes. Flip and cook an additional 6-9 minutes, until internal product temperature reaches 165°F on a meat thermometer. Remove from heat.

    • 1 (16 oz) pkg teriyaki style chicken thighs (marinated & ready-to-cook)
  • STEP 3

    While the chicken is cooking, fill a medium saucepan halfway with hot water (from the tap), cover, and bring to a boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, add the edamame and cook until heated through and tender, 4-5 minutes. Drain and return to the pan, then drizzle with oil and season with salt. Toss to coat, cover to keep warm, and set aside.

    • 1 (12 oz) bag edamame in the pod
    • 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
    • 1/8 tsp salt
  • STEP 4

    Meanwhile, cut carrots lengthwise into quarters. Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Add carrots, salt, and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until fork-tender 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat.

    • 2 (12 oz) bags rainbow baby carrots
    • 4 tsp toasted sesame oil
    • 1/2 tsp salt
    • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • STEP 5

    Thinly slice chicken.

    To serve, divide rice, chicken, edamame, and carrots between plates. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and enjoy!

    • 2 tsp sesame seeds
