Ingredients
  

For the Marinade
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs Can substitute with tofu or favorite plant-based protein.
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
For the Bowls
  • 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • for garnish Sesame seeds Optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, mix together honey, soy sauce, minced ginger, garlic, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to create the marinade.
  2. Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces, season with salt and pepper, and pour the marinade over them. Let marinate for at least 20 minutes.
Cooking
  1. While the chicken marinates, steam or sauté the broccoli until it is bright green and tender-crisp.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken, including the sauce, and cook until fully cooked and caramelized, about 7-10 minutes.
Assembly
  1. Start with a base of cooked rice, add the juicy chicken and broccoli on top, and drizzle any remaining sauce from the pan.
  2. Finish with a sprinkle of chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
