Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs

1 cup jasmine rice

2 cups chicken broth

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 inch ginger, grated

1 teaspoon rice vinegar

1 bell pepper, thinly sliced (any color)

1 cup broccoli florets

1/2 cup green onions, chopped

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: Sriracha for heat

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and rice vinegar. Add the chicken thighs, coat them well, and let them marinate for 30 minutes.

    Cook the Rice: Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine the rinsed rice and chicken broth (or water). Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice is cooked and fluffy.

      Sauté the Vegetables: While the rice is cooking, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a splash of oil. Sauté the bell peppers and broccoli for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender but still crisp. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

        Cook the Chicken: In the same skillet (wiping it out if necessary), remove the marinated chicken from the bowl and sear on medium-high heat for about 5-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and caramelized. Brush with any leftover marinade during the last few minutes of cooking.

          Assemble the Bowls: Fluff the rice with a fork and distribute it evenly among bowls. Top with the sautéed veggies and sliced sticky chicken. Garnish with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

            Serve & Enjoy: Drizzle with additional soy sauce or Sriracha if you like some heat. Enjoy your delicious Sticky Chicken Rice Bowls!
