How to Make Teriyaki Chicken:

1. Marinate the Chicken: Start by marinating the chicken breasts with ginger-garlic paste, paprika or red chili powder, pepper powder, mixed herbs, lemon juice, and olive oil. Let the chicken sit in the marinade for at least 30 minutes to soak in all the flavors.

2. Cook the Chicken: In a hot pan, sear the marinated chicken breasts until they are golden brown on both sides and fully cooked through. Once done, set them aside and let them rest. You could also air-fry the chicken at 200℃ for 10 to 12 minutes.

3. Prepare the Herbed Rice: Heat a pan with 1 tsp oil, and sauté the cooked rice with mixed herbs, chopped parsley or coriander, and also a pinch of salt. This simple yet aromatic rice pairs perfectly well with the teriyaki chicken.

4. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pan, add a little oil if needed and sauté the diced bell peppers and blanched broccoli florets. Then season with mixed herbs, chili flakes, and salt to taste. Cook until the vegetables are tender but still crisp and vibrant.

5. Make the Sauce: In the pan, heat oil and then combine the minced garlic, sweetened teriyaki sauce, schezwan sauce, and ketchup. Cook on low heat until the sauce thickens slightly and the garlic is fragrant.

6. Assemble and Serve: Slice the cooked chicken and then place it on a bed of herbed rice. Drizzle the teriyaki sauce generously over the chicken, and also arrange the sautéed vegetables on the side.
