Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1/2 cup sliced green onions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- Salt and pepper to taste
For a little twist, you might substitute the chicken for shrimp or tofu. If you’re looking to add some greens, try tossing in a handful of steamed broccoli or snow peas. Cooking, after all, should be a reflection of what you love, and these bowls are the perfect canvas for your own creativity.
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and rice vinegar. Set aside.
- Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
- Pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken, stirring to coat evenly.
- In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Add this to the skillet and stir until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the green onions.
- Serve the chicken over a bed of cooked jasmine rice, garnishing with sesame seeds. Enjoy the warm, comforting flavors that remind you why you love cooking.
As you cook, you might find yourself humming along to your favorite song or jotting down ideas for your next culinary adventure. That’s the magic of these bowls—they leave room for inspiration even in their simplicity.
