Delicious Sticky Chicken Rice Bowls: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe

  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 2 cups jasmine rice
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
– 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 inch fresh ginger, grated
– ½ cup soy sauce
– ¼ cup honey or brown sugar
– 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
– 2 teaspoons sesame oil
– 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water (for thickening)
– 1 cup broccoli florets (optional)
– 2 green onions, finely chopped (for garnish)
– Sesame seeds (for garnish)
– Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Creating delicious Sticky Chicken Rice Bowls can be a fun experience if you follow these easy steps:

1. Cook the Rice: Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine the rice with 4 cups of water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork once done.

2. Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Set aside.

3. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

4. Add the Sauce: When the chicken is almost done cooking, pour the sauce over the chicken and allow it to simmer for about 2-3 minutes. This will let the chicken soak up the sauce’s flavors.

5. Thicken the Sauce: Add the cornstarch mixture to the skillet, stirring until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.

6. Optional Veggies: If using broccoli, add it to the skillet during the last minutes of cooking to allow it to steam slightly and become tender.

7. Assemble the Bowls: Place a generous serving of rice in a bowl, followed by the sticky chicken and any veggies.

8. Garnish: Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for an extra layer of flavor.

9. Serve Immediately: Present the bowls warm and enjoy!

These steps ensure that each element of your Delicious Sticky Chicken Rice Bowls comes together beautifully.
