  • To assemble the chicken teriyaki bowl, split 2 servings cooked rice between two bowls and then top half of the rice in each bowl with the chicken. Next, add the vegetables to the other half and then drizzle the chicken and veggies with the remaining teriyaki sauce. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon black sesame seeds.
