Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Medium bowl
  • Resealable bag

Ingredients
  

Marinade

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional

Bowls

  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 1 cup steamed broccoli florets
  • ½ cup shredded carrots
  • 2 green onions, sliced for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, lime juice, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes to create the marinade/glaze.
  • Place the cut chicken into a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, reserving the other half for later use as the glaze. Marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
  • Cook the rice according to package directions. Keep warm.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken pieces, discarding the excess marinade from the bag. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
  • Pour the reserved half of the marinade (the glaze) over the cooked chicken in the skillet. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the chicken well.
  • Assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked rice among serving bowls. Top the rice with the honey lime chicken, steamed broccoli, and shredded carrots.
  • Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, use brown rice instead of white rice. If you prefer a thicker glaze, mix 1 teaspoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of cold water and stir this slurry into the simmering glaze during the last minute of cooking. You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts if desired; adjust cooking time slightly.
