Prepare a simple, flavorful chicken bowl featuring sweet and savory honey soy glazed chicken served over rice with a homemade creamy garlic sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (for chicken)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Cooked white or brown rice, for serving
  • Steamed broccoli or sliced green onions, for serving
  • For the Garlic Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced very finely
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and the 2 minced garlic cloves. Add the cut chicken pieces and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
  2. Prepare the Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, 4 minced garlic cloves, lemon juice, sugar, and salt. Mix well until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  4. Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving any leftover marinade. Add the chicken to the hot skillet in a single layer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through.
  5. Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet with the chicken. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens into a glaze that coats the chicken.
  6. Assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked rice among serving bowls. Top with the honey soy glazed chicken.
  7. Drizzle a generous amount of the prepared Garlic Sauce over the chicken and rice. Garnish with steamed broccoli and green onions.

Notes

  • For a thicker glaze, cook the marinade down for an extra minute or two before adding it back to the chicken.
  • You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts; thighs remain juicier during cooking.
  • If you prefer a thinner garlic sauce, add a teaspoon of water or milk until you reach your desired consistency.
