Ingredients
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 3 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup bell peppers, sliced (any color)
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine minced ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, and rice vinegar. Whisk until well blended.
  2. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, making sure they are fully coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
  3. While the chicken is marinating, steam the broccoli, bell peppers, and snap peas until just tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and grill for 5-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
  6. In a serving bowl, layer the cooked jasmine rice, grilled chicken, and sesame vegetables.
  7. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Add salt and pepper to taste, if desired.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy your vibrant and flavorful bowl!
