Ingredients
1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 cups cooked white rice
1 1/2 cups broccoli florets
2 tablespoons spicy mayo
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
1 tablespoon chopped chives
Instructions
1. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, garlic, ginger, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Add chicken thighs and marinate for at least 15–30 minutes.
2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with oil. Sear chicken on both sides until cooked and caramelized, about 4–5 minutes per side. Remove and let rest.
3. Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet. Add cornstarch slurry and simmer until thick and glossy.
4. Slice the chicken and return to the skillet, tossing to coat in the sticky sauce.
5. Steam broccoli for 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp.
6. Assemble bowls with rice, sliced sticky chicken, steamed broccoli, and spicy mayo.
7. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped chives.
Notes
Marinate the chicken longer for deeper flavor — up to overnight is ideal.
Use fresh garlic and ginger for the best punch of flavor.
If you don’t have spicy mayo, mix mayonnaise with sriracha to your heat preference.
