Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs

1 cup jasmine rice

2 cups broccoli florets

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

2 teaspoons sesame oil

2 cloves garlic minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 to 2 tablespoons sriracha

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

2 tablespoons chopped scallions

Instructions

1. Rinse the jasmine rice until water runs clear, then cook according to package instructions.

2. Steam or microwave broccoli florets until tender yet crisp and bright green.

3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat with vegetable oil. Season chicken with salt and pepper and sear until browned on both sides.

4. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Pour over chicken and let simmer until sauce thickens and coats the chicken.

5. In another bowl, mix mayo with sriracha until smooth. Adjust spice to taste.

6. Slice chicken and assemble bowls with rice, broccoli, and chicken. Drizzle with sriracha mayo.

7. Top with sesame seeds and scallions before serving.

Notes

Let the sauce reduce until it becomes sticky and glossy for maximum flavor.

Rest the chicken before slicing to keep it juicy.

Add more sriracha if you like it spicier, or swap it with a milder sauce for kids.
