Juicy chicken in a glossy homemade teriyaki sauce, served over brown rice with broccoli and carrots. Making the sauce yourself takes two minutes and uses reduced-salt tamari, so you control the salt and sugar.

A bowl has about 38g of protein and 493 calories, including the brown rice. Chicken breast is one of the leanest protein sources, and with a full portion of broccoli and carrots, this is a complete meal in one bowl.
Why make your own teriyaki sauce. Bottled teriyaki sauces are often high in sugar and salt. This version uses reduced-salt tamari and 1½ tbsp of honey shared between four, about 7g of honey each. The cornflour is what makes the sauce glossy and helps it cling to the chicken.
Why brown rice. Brown rice keeps its bran, so it has more fibre and nutrients than white rice. With about 60g of carbohydrate a bowl it is not tagged for blood sugar; use less rice and more broccoli if that matters to you.
Gluten-free, with one check. Ordinary soy sauce is made with wheat. Use tamari labelled gluten-free if you need the dish to be gluten-free.
Fresh ginger and garlic give the sauce its flavour. For a quicker chicken dinner, try the 15-minute chicken and broccoli stir-fry, or for a vegan bowl, the crispy sesame tofu with broccoli.
