These easy-to-make Spicy Honey Chicken Rice Bowls are packed with flavor and only takes 30 minutes to make!
This recipe features U.S.-grown Medium Grain Rice and comes to us from our friend Tawnie Graham of Kroll's Korner.
Ingredients
- 1 cup U.S.-grown Medium Grain Rice
- 2 Chicken Breasts (boneless & skinless), thawed
- 1 head Broccoli, roasted or steamed
- 1/4 cup Green Onions, diced
- 1-2 tbsp Olive Oil
- Spicy Honey Sauce
- 1/2 cup Soy Sauce
- 1/4 cup Honey
- 2 tbsp Sriracha
- 1 tbsp Mirin or Rice Wine (not rice vinegar or rice wine vinegar)
- 1 tsp Garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp Ginger, minced
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 1 tbsp Water
Instructions
-
Cook the U.S. Medium grain rice. Follow the package directions or us this easy stove top method: Combine 1 cup medium grain rice with 1 ½ cups water and a dash of salt in a small saucepan. Heat to boiling; stir once or twice. Reduce the heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until most of the water is absorbed. Fluff with fork.
-
Make the sauce. Combine soy sauce, honey, Sriracha, mirin, garlic and ginger in a bowl or measuring cup. Whisk until smooth.
-
Prepare the chicken. Cube thawed, boneless skinless chicken breasts into bite sized pieces.
-
Heat olive oil in a nonstick frying pan. Add half of the chicken and cook until nicely browned. Pro tip: don’t cook all of the chicken at once. The pan will get crowded and it won’t stay hot enough. We want tasty browned chicken pieces! Place first half of chicken on a paper towel lined plate and cook the rest of the chicken.
-
Pour all of the chicken and the sauce into the pan to bring to a simmer.
-
Thicken sauce. Mix the cornstarch & water together and whisk into the sauce.
-
Divide rice evenly into bowls. Top each bowl with chicken and broccoli (or veggie of choice). Garnish with green onions if desired. Enjoy!
Recipe notes: Pale dry sherry or dry white wine make good substitutes for mirin or rice wine
