Honey sesame chicken bowls

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 32 minutes
Total Time 47 minutes
Servings 2 bowls

Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked brown rice (one cup uncooked)
  • 1 inch fresh ginger, peeled and grated
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
  • 2 tsp honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce, plus more for serving
  • 2 cups shredded red and green cabbage (I used coleslaw mix)
  • 1 green onion, chopped
  • 2 eggs, soft or hard boiled
  • 1-2 raw chicken breasts (depending on size of chicken breast)
  • 2 tsp black sesame seeds
  • 1/2 head broccoli
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • salt

Instructions

  1. Mix together garlic, ginger, lemon juice, honey, and soy sauce in a small bowl.

  2. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Coat broccoli with the olive oil and bake until roasted and crisp, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with salt. 

  3. In the meantime, heat a small amount of oil in a pan to a medium heat. Add chicken, basting with the remaining marinade slowly throughout, and cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.

  4. Remove the chicken and any remaining marinade and add the cabbage to the pan. Sprinkle with salt and cook until slightly soft and the color becomes more vibrant. Remove from heat.

  5. Cut the chicken into thin slices (save any remaining marinade in a small bowl). Peel the eggs and cut each one in half. 

  6. Divide rice between two bowls. Top each bowl with half the chicken, cabbage, broccoli, one egg, green onion, sesame seeds, and any remaining marinade. Serve with soy sauce if desired.
