Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sriracha
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 2 green onions, chopped
- Sesame seeds for sprinkling
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sugar
- A splash of water for consistency
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine honey, grated ginger, soy sauce, sriracha, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add your chicken, making sure it’s well-coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and add it to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Bring back that marinade and let it simmer until it thickens slightly, then pour it over the chicken.
- Prepare the Veggies: Steam the broccoli in the microwave for about 3-4 minutes. Sauté the sliced bell peppers in a separate pan with olive oil until tender.
- Make the Yum Yum Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, rice vinegar, sugar, and water until smooth.
- Assemble Your Bowls: Divide cooked rice among bowls. Top with sliced chicken, broccoli, sautéed peppers, drizzle with Yum Yum sauce, sprinkle sesame seeds, and finish with green onions.
