Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
- 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
- Whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil in a small bowl to make the glaze. Set aside half of the glaze for serving.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Pour the reserved half of the glaze over the chicken. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- While the chicken cooks, steam the broccoli florets until tender-crisp, about 4 minutes.
- To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Top the rice with the glazed chicken and steamed broccoli.
- Drizzle the remaining reserved glaze over the chicken and vegetables. Sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts if you prefer a richer flavor.
- For faster cooking, slice the chicken thinly before cutting into pieces.
- Use pre-cooked rice to save additional time.
