Ingredients
For the Rice Bowl
- 1 cup Jasmine rice uncooked
- 2 cups Water for cooking rice
- 1 pound Chicken breast cut into 1-inch pieces
- 3 cups Broccoli florets fresh or frozen
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Green onions sliced, for garnish
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds for garnish
For the Spicy Sauce
- 0.25 cup Low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha adjust to taste
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 cloves Garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger grated
Instructions
Preparation
- Cook the rice according to package directions. Typically, combine 1 cup jasmine rice with 2 cups water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until water is absorbed and rice is tender. Fluff with a fork.
- While the rice cooks, prepare the spicy sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sriracha, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined.
- Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch pieces and chop the broccoli into florets.
Cooking
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through.
- Add the broccoli florets to the skillet with the chicken. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender-crisp.
- Pour the spicy sauce over the chicken and broccoli. Stir to coat everything evenly and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Assembly
- Divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Top each with a generous serving of the spicy chicken and broccoli mixture.
- Garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
For an extra kick, add more sriracha to the sauce. You can also add other vegetables like sliced carrots, bell peppers, or snap peas. This recipe works great for meal prep; simply store components separately and combine when ready to eat.
