Sweet and Savory Delight: Honey Garlic Chicken Rice Bowl Bliss

Learn how to make delicious Honey Garlic Chicken Rice Bowl. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Let’s keep it real and simple. You don’t need a pantry full of exotic ingredients to whip up this family favorite. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for a gluten-free option)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 teaspoons water
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
  • 1/4 cup green onions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

If you’re out of sesame oil, don’t worry! A dash of olive oil will do the trick. And if green onions aren’t to your taste, swap them out for some fresh cilantro or parsley.

Instructions

Now, let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps to bring this delicious dish to life:

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic!
  3. Pour in the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  4. Add the cornstarch slurry to the sauce, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Return the chicken to the skillet, tossing to coat with the sticky glaze. Let it simmer for another 2 minutes to absorb all that flavor.
  6. Serve the chicken over a bed of jasmine rice, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds. Enjoy the warm and inviting flavors!

Remember, don’t stress if your sauce isn’t perfectly thick; it will still taste amazing. Cooking, after all, is about experimenting and having fun!
