Description
Flavorful Sticky Chicken Bowls with a sweet and salty glaze made from soy sauce, honey, ginger, and garlic, served over rice or grains.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Chicken Thighs
- 1/2 cup Soy Sauce
- 1/4 cup Honey or Brown Sugar
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 inch Ginger, grated
- Mixed Vegetables (Bell peppers, broccoli, snap peas)
- 2 cups Rice or Grain (White rice, brown rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice)
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey (or brown sugar), minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add chicken thighs, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and let marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Heat a drizzle of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade (reserve the liquid) and sear for about 4–5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, pour in the reserved marinade. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, allowing it to reduce and thicken slightly.
- Add the chicken back into the pan, tossing it in the sticky sauce until fully glazed. Add your choice of vegetables and cook until tender-crisp.
- Spoon the sticky chicken over a bed of your chosen grain. Garnish with green onions or sesame seeds.
Notes
For perfectly cooked chicken, start with a hot skillet and avoid overcrowding. Let the chicken rest before serving for better juiciness.
