Just grill the chicken with honey teriyaki sauce and mix up some butter rice for a stylish, cafe-inspired plate. I created this recipe for a weekend lunch so you can enjoy veggies, meat, and rice all on one plate. It's also great for when you have guests over!

Steps

1

Add slightly less water than usual to the rice, add frozen corn, and cook as you normally would.
2

While the rice is still hot, mix in the butter and a pinch of salt. Your butter rice is ready!
3

Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces, season with salt and pepper, and coat lightly with flour. In a separate bowl, mix together the soy sauce, honey (or sugar), sake, and mirin.
4

Lightly oil a skillet (using oil not listed in the ingredients), add the chicken, and cook on one side. Flip the chicken, cover with aluminum foil, and steam for 4 minutes.
5

Remove the foil. When the chicken is nicely browned, use a paper towel to blot any excess oil. Add the sauce mixture, stirring to coat the chicken as it cooks.
6

When the sauce thickens slightly and the chicken is glossy, your teriyaki chicken is done!
7

To serve, place lettuce on a plate, add the butter rice, and top with the chicken. Add mayonnaise if you like, and garnish with parsley.
