Ingredients:

  • 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs (cut into 1-inch pieces)
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
  • 1 tsp (5ml) sesame oil
  • 1 tsp (5g) grated ginger
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • ½ tsp (2g) chili garlic sauce (like Sriracha - adjust to your spice preference)
  • 2 cups cooked rice (Jasmine, brown rice, or sushi rice all work well)
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 medium carrot (julienned or shredded)
  • 1 cup edamame (shelled)
  • 2 scallions (thinly sliced)
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) vegetable oil (for grilling)
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • Optional: Furikake seasoning (for extra flavour)

Instructions:

  1. Whisk together all marinade ingredients in a bowl. Add chicken and toss to coat. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes (longer is better!).
  2. While the chicken marinates, prep the broccoli, carrot, edamame, and scallions.
  3. Heat grill pan (or outdoor grill) over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates. Grill chicken until cooked through and lightly charred, about 6-8 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  4. Steam broccoli until tender-crisp, approximately 3-5 minutes.
  5. Divide rice between two bowls. Top with grilled chicken, broccoli, carrot, edamame, and scallions.
  6. Sprinkle with sesame seeds (and furikake, if using). Serve immediately.
