Honey Garlic Chicken Bowls
Sweet, sticky, and full of flavor, these Honey Garlic Chicken Bowls are an easy weeknight dinner made with juicy chicken, broccoli, and rice—all ready in about 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken breast or chicken thighs diced
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 green onions sliced
- Sesame seeds for garnish
- Red pepper flakes optional
- Broccoli florets optional
- 1–2 tsp brown sugar optional (for richer sauce)
- Bell peppers optional
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine diced chicken, soy sauce, and half of the minced garlic. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together honey, rice vinegar, cornstarch, and remaining garlic until smooth.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the sauce mixture and simmer for 2–3 minutes until thickened.
- Return the chicken to the pan and toss until fully coated.
- Serve over steamed rice and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Add broccoli or bell peppers if desired.
Notes
Use chicken thighs for juiciness or breasts for a leaner option. Add red pepper flakes or sriracha for heat. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
