Prepare a simple, flavorful bowl featuring tender chicken coated in a sweet and savory honey garlic glaze, served over rice with a rich, creamy sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 2 cups cooked white rice (for serving)
  • 1 cup steamed broccoli florets (for serving)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken pieces lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
  3. In the same skillet, combine the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and ginger. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the water and cornstarch to create a slurry. Pour the slurry into the simmering sauce and stir constantly until the sauce thickens into a glaze, about 1 minute.
  5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss to coat completely in the honey garlic glaze. Cook for 1 minute. Remove the chicken mixture from the skillet and set aside.
  6. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Stir in the heavy cream. Heat gently until the sauce is warm and slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Do not boil.
  7. To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked rice between two bowls. Top the rice with steamed broccoli.
  8. Place the honey garlic chicken next to the vegetables.
  9. Spoon the creamy sauce generously over the chicken and rice. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, use brown rice instead of white rice.
  • You can substitute chicken thighs for chicken breasts if you prefer darker meat.
  • If you want a tangier sauce, add 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to the glaze mixture.
