Description

Perfect for a cozy weeknight dinner, these bowls feature marinated chicken and colorful veggies over rice or quinoa.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound chicken breast, diced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 cup brown rice or quinoa
  • Sesame seeds and green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Mix together the soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil in a bowl.
  2. Add the diced chicken to the bowl, ensuring every piece is coated in the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Cook the brown rice or quinoa according to the package instructions.
  4. Heat a little oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the marinated chicken. Cook until browned and cooked through, around 6–8 minutes.
  5. Add the broccoli florets and sliced bell peppers to the skillet, stir-frying until the veggies are bright and tender, about 3–4 more minutes.
  6. Serve the chicken and vegetables over rice or quinoa, garnished with sesame seeds and green onions.

Notes

Marinate the chicken the night before for deeper flavors. Leftovers last up to 3 days in the fridge.
