Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups uncooked rice
  • 2 small heads broccoli, chopped
  • 3 large chicken breasts, sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp sriracha
  • 2 tsp sesame oil

  • 2 tsp arrowroot powder mixed with 2 tbsp water (slurry)
  • 1/2 cup mayo
  • 1 tbsp sriracha

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice according to package instructions; set aside.
  2. Chop the broccoli into small florets.
  3. Season sliced chicken with salt, pepper, chili powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, and oregano.
  4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
  5. Steam or sauté the chopped broccoli until tender but bright green.
  6. Prepare the sticky sauce by whisking together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, sriracha, sesame oil, and ground ginger.
  7. Pour the sticky sauce over the cooked chicken and let it simmer until thickened; stir in the arrowroot slurry to achieve thickness.
  8. Mix mayo with sriracha and enough water to create a pourable consistency for the spicy mayo.
  9. Assemble the bowls with rice, chicken, and broccoli; drizzle with spicy mayo and top with sesame seeds.

Notes

For a plant-based version, substitute chicken with tofu or chickpeas. Garnish with chopped green onions for extra flavor.
