Prepare a quick and flavorful honey garlic chicken bowl featuring tender chicken glazed in a sweet and savory sauce, served over rice with crisp, fresh vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup white rice, cooked
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 large carrot, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • For the Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (use tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water (slurry)

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice according to package directions. Set aside.
  2. Prepare the sauce: In a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
  3. Whisk in the cornstarch slurry. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
  4. Season the chicken pieces lightly with salt and pepper.
  5. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
  6. Add the broccoli, carrots, bell pepper, and snap peas to the skillet with the chicken. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  7. Pour the prepared honey garlic sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Toss gently to coat everything evenly. Cook for 1 minute until the sauce is hot and glossy.
  8. Assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked rice among serving bowls. Top with the honey garlic chicken and vegetable mixture.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free option, substitute regular soy sauce with tamari.
  • To maximize visual appeal, arrange the vegetables in distinct sections over the rice before adding the sauced chicken.
  • If you prefer a tangier sauce, add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to the sauce mixture before thickening.
