Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium)
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
  • 1 cup broccoli florets, steamed
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced, for garnish
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  • Cut the chicken thighs into 1-inch pieces. This ensures they cook quickly and evenly.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic!
  • Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Make sure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  • Pour the sauce over the chicken and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly and is glossy. Stir constantly to prevent burning.
  • Divide the cooked rice among bowls. Top with the honey garlic chicken, steamed broccoli, and shredded carrots.
  • Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy!
