Ingredients
  

For the Chicken:

1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces

1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium)

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

1 tablespoon sesame oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

Sesame seeds and green onions for garnish

For the Broccoli:

4 cups broccoli florets

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Rice:

2 cups jasmine rice

4 cups water or chicken broth

1 tablespoon butter (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add the chicken pieces to a large resealable bag or bowl and pour the marinade over the top. Seal or cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, preferably up to 2 hours.

    Cook the Rice: Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, bring 4 cups of water (or chicken broth for added flavor) to a boil. Add the rice and butter (if using), stir once, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 15 minutes or until all liquid has been absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for another 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.

      Steam the Broccoli: While the rice cooks, prepare the broccoli. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the broccoli florets, season with salt and pepper, and stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Remove from heat and set aside.

        Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet or wok, heat a little oil over medium-high heat. Remove the marinated chicken from the bag, letting the excess marinade drip off (reserve the marinade). Add the chicken to the skillet in a single layer and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally.

          Glaze the Chicken: Pour the reserved marinade over the cooked chicken in the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and glaze the chicken.

            Assemble the Bowls: To serve, start with a generous scoop of jasmine rice in each bowl. Top with the glazed chicken and a side of sautéed broccoli. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

              Enjoy! Serve hot and savor the delicious blend of sweet and savory flavors!
