Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Sauce
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, diced
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp sriracha (optional)
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water
To Serve
- 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Cook the Chicken: Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the diced chicken thighs with salt and black pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 6 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pieces are golden brown and cooked through.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and sriracha if using. Pour this mixture into the skillet with the cooked chicken.
- Thicken the Sauce: In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Stir this into the skillet. Cook the mixture for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy, coating the chicken pieces evenly.
- Assemble the Bowls: Spoon the cooked jasmine rice into serving bowls. Top with the sticky chicken mixture. Garnish with sliced green onions and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious sticky chicken rice bowl!
Notes
- For a lower sodium version, use a reduced-sodium soy sauce or tamari.
- Adjust the amount of sriracha according to your spice preference or omit it for a milder dish.
- To save time, use pre-cooked or leftover jasmine rice.
- You can substitute chicken thighs with chicken breasts, but thighs tend to remain juicier and more flavorful.
- To add vegetables, consider tossing in steamed broccoli or snap peas before serving.
