A recipe for a sweet and spicy chicken bowl featuring sticky glazed chicken served over rice with fresh vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup sriracha sauce
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 4 cups cooked white or brown rice
  • 2 cups steamed broccoli florets
  • 1 large carrot, julienned
  • 2 green onions, sliced for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, sriracha, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Set aside half of this mixture for later use as a finishing sauce.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk the cornstarch and water until smooth to create a slurry.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Pour the first half of the reserved sauce mixture into the hot skillet. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Whisk the cornstarch slurry again and slowly pour it into the simmering sauce while stirring constantly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens into a glaze.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Toss to coat the chicken completely with the sticky glaze.
  7. Assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Top the rice with the glazed chicken, steamed broccoli, and julienned carrots.
  8. Drizzle the remaining reserved sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • For a thicker glaze, cook the sauce slightly longer after adding the cornstarch slurry.
  • You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts if you prefer darker meat.
  • Use brown rice for added fiber content in your bowl.
