Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp grated ginger

- 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions
- Rinse the rice under cold water until clear. Combine with water and salt in a pot, bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Let sit 5 minutes and fluff.

- Divide rice into bowls, top with chicken and broccoli, and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve immediately.
Notes
Use chicken thighs for juicier results or breasts for a leaner option. Adjust sweetness and saltiness to taste by balancing honey and soy sauce. Swap broccoli with snap peas, bell peppers, or bok choy. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days and reheat gently with a splash of water.
