Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp sriracha
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 2 tsp arrowroot powder mixed with 2 tbsp water
  • 1/2 cup mayo
  • 1 tbsp sriracha
  • 2–3 tbsp water
  • 2 cups uncooked rice
  • 2 small heads broccoli, chopped
  • Sesame seeds for topping

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients: Grab your ingredients and get everything ready. Chop the broccoli, mince the garlic, and dice your chicken into bite-sized strips.
  2. Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, sriracha, sesame oil, ginger, and spices. Toss your chicken strips into the marinade and let them soak for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Cook the rice: Rinse your rice under cold water until it runs clear, then cook according to package directions.
  4. Sear the chicken: In a skillet, add the olive oil and once hot, add the marinated chicken strips. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  5. Make the sauce: Pour in the remaining marinade to the skillet and bring it to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Mix the arrowroot powder with water, then drizzle that into the sauce while stirring.
  6. Steam the broccoli: Steam your chopped broccoli until vibrant green and tender-crisp.
  7. Assemble the bowls: In a serving bowl, layer the rice, sticky chicken, and sauce, topping with steamed broccoli and a drizzle of spicy mayo.
  8. Enjoy: Dive in and savor the delightful meal!

Notes

For extra flavor, add toasted sesame seeds and green onions as a topping.
