Ingredients
Scale
For the chicken
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch (optional, for extra crisp)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (or neutral oil)
For the sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (more to taste)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (or lime juice)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic (or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder)
For the bowls
- 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (or brown rice)
- 1 cup shredded lettuce or cabbage
- 1 cup diced cucumber
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 2 tablespoons sliced green onions
- Sesame seeds, to taste
- Optional: avocado, lime wedges
Instructions
- In a bowl, toss chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cornstarch (if using) until coated.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer and cook 5–7 minutes, turning, until browned and cooked through.
- While chicken cooks, whisk honey, soy sauce, sriracha, rice vinegar, sesame oil (optional), and garlic in a small bowl.
- Reduce heat to medium. Pour sauce into the skillet and stir to coat chicken. Simmer 1–2 minutes until glossy and slightly thick.
- Assemble bowls with rice, lettuce/cabbage, cucumber, carrots, and chicken. Drizzle extra sauce from the pan over the top.
- Finish with green onions and sesame seeds. Add lime or avocado if you want.
Notes
- For meal prep, store chicken, rice, and toppings separately so the veggies stay crisp.
- For less heat, start with half the sriracha and add more after tasting.
- For extra crisp chicken, use cornstarch and avoid overcrowding the pan.
