Description
A quick and easy recipe for a balanced meal featuring chicken and broccoli served over rice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 cup uncooked white rice
- 2 cups water
Instructions
- Cook the rice according to package directions using 2 cups of water. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil to make the sauce.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
- Add the broccoli florets to the same skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until bright green and slightly tender-crisp. Add a splash of water if the pan gets too dry.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the broccoli.
- Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and broccoli. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens slightly and coats everything, about 1-2 minutes.
- Divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Top each bowl with the chicken and broccoli mixture.
Notes
- For extra flavor, top the finished bowls with sesame seeds or chopped green onions.
- You can substitute brown rice for white rice. Adjust cooking time as needed.
