Ingredients
Scale
Let’s get started with the ingredients. You’ll find that most of these are pantry staples, making this dish as convenient as it is delicious. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sriracha or your favorite hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
- 1/4 cup chopped scallions for garnish
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish
If you’re missing any of these, don’t worry! You can substitute chicken breasts for thighs, and if you’re not a fan of sriracha, try a milder hot sauce. The key is to make it work for you and your family.
Instructions
Let’s get cooking! Here’s how you bring this delicious bowl to life:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, sriracha, and garlic powder. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 6-8 minutes until browned and cooked through.
- Pour the honey-soy mixture over the chicken, reduce the heat to medium, and let it simmer for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
- While the chicken is cooking, prepare the rice according to package instructions if not already cooked.
- Divide the cooked rice into bowls, top with the hot honey chicken, and sprinkle with chopped scallions and sesame seeds.
Pro tip: If you’re juggling a lot at once, prepare the sauce ahead of time and store it in the fridge. It’ll make this meal even faster to prepare on busy nights.
