Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 carrot julienned
  • 2 green onions sliced
  • Sesame seeds for garnish

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Set aside.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the chicken thighs. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the broccoli, red bell pepper, and carrot. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  4. Return the chicken to the skillet and pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and veggies.
  5. Serve the sticky chicken and vegetables over a bed of brown rice. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
