Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili paste or sriracha optional for heat
  • 2 cups cooked white or brown rice or cauliflower rice for a low-carb option
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup sliced cucumbers
  • 1 cup steamed broccoli florets
  • 2 green onions thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • Fresh cilantro leaves optional
  • Lime wedges optional
  • Additional sriracha or soy sauce optional

Instructions

  1. Combine the chicken pieces with the 2 tablespoons soy sauce and cornstarch in a bowl and let it sit for 10 minutes to marinate.
  2. Warm the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, then cook the chicken until golden brown and fully cooked, about 5 to 6 minutes, before removing it from the pan.
  3. In the same skillet, mix together the 1/4 cup soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and chili paste, then let the sauce simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  4. Return the chicken to the skillet and stir to coat it well with the sauce, then cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes.
  5. Distribute the rice between bowls and add the chicken on top, followed by the carrots, cucumbers, broccoli, green onions, and sesame seeds.
  6. Garnish with cilantro leaves and lime wedges if you like, and serve the bowls right away.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce
  • Adjust the amount of chili paste to control the spiciness
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days
