Quick and easy Sticky Chicken Rice Bowls with a flavorful marinade and fresh vegetables, perfect for busy weeknights.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
  • ¼ cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (for thickening)
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. Set it aside.
  2. Place the chicken in a resealable bag or bowl. Pour half of the sauce over the chicken, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken, cooking for about 8–10 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove excess marinade.
  4. Toss the broccoli and bell pepper into the skillet. Stir fry for about 5 minutes until they are just tender.
  5. Pour the remaining sauce and cornstarch mixture into the skillet. Stir well to combine, allowing it to simmer until the sauce thickens (about 2–3 minutes).
  6. Divide the cooked jasmine rice into serving bowls. Spoon the sticky chicken and vegetables over the rice.
  7. Finish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for a beautiful presentation.

Notes

Use pre-cooked jasmine rice to save time. Swap fresh broccoli for frozen if needed.
