Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger minced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup green onions sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds optional
For the Yum Yum Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, rice vinegar, sugar, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to make the Yum Yum Sauce. Set aside in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the chicken.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced ginger and garlic, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the chicken thighs to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together the honey, soy sauce, sriracha, and sesame oil. Pour this mixture over the cooked chicken in the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat the chicken.
  5. While the chicken is finishing, steam the broccoli florets until tender, about 3-4 minutes.
  6. To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked jasmine rice among four bowls. Slice the chicken and place it on top of the rice. Add steamed broccoli, shredded carrots, and a drizzle of Yum Yum Sauce. Sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful bowls!
