Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • ¼ cup (60ml) soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 3 tbsp (45ml) honey (or brown sugar)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) sesame oil
  • 1 tsp (5ml) cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp (30ml) water
  • 2 cups (370g) cooked jasmine or basmati rice
  • 1 cup (150g) steamed broccoli florets
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned or thinly sliced
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tbsp (15g) toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Cook 2 cups (370g) jasmine or basmati rice according to package instructions (about 15 minutes). Fluff with a fork and keep warm.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup (60ml) soy sauce, 3 tbsp (45ml) honey, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tbsp (15ml) grated fresh ginger, 1 tbsp (15ml) rice vinegar, and 1 tbsp (15ml) sesame oil. Set aside.
  3. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of oil and warm.
  4. Add 1 lb (450g) bite-sized chicken thighs to the skillet. Cook 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through with a golden crust.
  5. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken. Stir to coat and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Stir together 1 tsp (5ml) cornstarch with 2 tbsp (30ml) cold water until smooth. Add to skillet and stir constantly until sauce thickens into a glossy glaze.
  7. Steam 1 cup (150g) broccoli florets until bright green and tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes. Julienne 1 medium carrot and slice 2 green onions.
  8. Assemble bowls by spooning rice, topping with glazed chicken, steamed broccoli, carrot slices, green onions, and toasted sesame seeds.
  9. Optionally drizzle with toasted sesame oil or sprinkle chili flakes for extra flavor. Serve immediately.

Notes

Pat chicken dry before cooking for better sear. Use medium-high heat to brown chicken without burning. Stir cornstarch slurry constantly to avoid lumps. Sauce should be glossy and clingy, not runny. Reheat gently with a splash of water to keep chicken moist. Swap soy sauce for tamari for gluten-free option. Use cauliflower rice for low-carb variation.
