Instructions

  1. Cook the Rice: Rinse rice under cold water and cook according to package directions. Keep warm.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Whisk together soy sauce, honey, Sriracha, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and black pepper. Coat chicken and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Prep the Sauce and Vegetables: Whisk sauce ingredients together in a small bowl. Prepare broccoli, carrot, and bell pepper.
  4. Cook the Broccoli and Veggies: Stir-fry broccoli and carrot in oil for 4-5 minutes. Add bell pepper and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Set aside.
  5. Sear the Marinated Chicken: Heat oil in the same skillet, sear chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked through. Internal temp should reach 165°F.
  6. Add the Sauce: Pour sauce over chicken and stir until thickened, about 1-3 minutes.
  7. Combine Chicken and Veggies: Add cooked vegetables back to the pan and toss together until heated through.
  8. Assemble the Bowls: Serve chicken and veggies over warm rice, garnished with green onions, sesame seeds, and lime wedges.

Notes

For a gluten-free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce. Feel free to add additional vegetables or adjust the level of Sriracha to your taste.
