Instructions

1. 1.
   In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, mirin, and sugar to create the teriyaki sauce. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely. Adjust the sweetness by adding a little more sugar if desired, balancing according to taste.
2. 2.
   Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken breast in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
3. 3.
   Once the chicken is cooked, pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer. Stir to coat the chicken evenly, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and become sticky, about 3 minutes.
4. 4.
   Fluff the cooked white rice with a fork to separate the grains. This will ensure the rice is airy and ready to absorb flavors.
5. 5.
   Place the rice in a bowl and arrange the teriyaki chicken on top. Drizzle any remaining sauce from the skillet over the dish for added flavor. Serve warm and enjoy the sweet and savory notes.
