Ingredients

• 1.3 lb (600 g) boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced
• 1 tablespoon neutral cooking oil
• 10.6 oz (300 g) broccoli florets
• 1.1 lb (500 g) cooked rice
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water
• Sliced spring onion and sesame seeds, optional

Instructions

1. Whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger.

2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until browned and the thickest pieces reach 165°F / 74°C.

3. Steam or microwave the broccoli until crisp-tender.

4. Pour the sauce into the skillet. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and simmer briefly until glossy and slightly thickened.

5. Divide rice among bowls and top with chicken, sauce, and broccoli. Finish with spring onion and sesame seeds if desired.

Tips

• Cut chicken into similar-sized pieces for even cooking.
• Use low-sodium soy sauce so the sauce is easier to balance.
• Do not overcook the broccoli; a little bite gives the bowl better texture.

Meal Prep and Storage

Divide into airtight containers and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat until piping hot throughout. Add a teaspoon of water before reheating if the sauce has thickened too much.
