Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 2 cups cooked brown rice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook rice if not already prepared.
- In a bowl, mix olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, honey, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and marinate for 15–30 minutes.
- Lightly oil the pan. Remove chicken from marinade and grill for 5–6 minutes per side until cooked through and slightly charred.
- Set chicken aside. In the same pan, sauté broccoli with a drizzle of oil for 3–4 minutes until crisp-tender.
- Let chicken rest, then slice. Portion brown rice into bowls.
- Top rice with broccoli and chicken slices. Drizzle with remaining sauce if desired.
- Serve hot with optional toppings like sesame seeds or chili flakes.
Notes
- Use leftover or day-old rice for best texture.
- Don’t overcook broccoli — a slight char keeps it flavorful and crisp.
- Store sauce separately to keep the bowl fresh for leftovers.
