Learn how to make delicious Honey Garlic Chicken Rice Bowl. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, for garnish
  • 2 green onions, sliced, for garnish
  • Salt and pepper to taste

If you prefer a slightly different flavor profile, you can substitute chicken breasts for thighs or use tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free option. The recipe is versatile, allowing you to tailor it to your dietary preferences and ingredient availability.

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and rice vinegar to create the sauce. Set aside.
  2. In another small bowl, mix cornstarch with water until smooth. This slurry will thicken the sauce later.
  3. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Reduce the heat to medium and pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken. Stir to coat evenly.
  6. Add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet and stir continuously until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when it clings beautifully to the chicken.
  7. Remove from heat and serve the chicken over cooked jasmine rice. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for a pop of color and flavor.

As you cook, remember that the key to a great Honey Garlic Chicken Rice Bowl is balance; taste the sauce as you go and adjust the sweetness or saltiness to your liking. Cooking is as much about intuition as it is about following a recipe, a lesson I learned from many afternoons spent in my grandma’s kitchen.
