Honey Ginger Chicken Meal Prep Bowls
Report
These honey ginger chicken meal prep bowls are quick and simple. Four portions of tender chicken, sticky sweet sauce, and rice and broccoli are ready in only 30 minutes!
Share:
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup uncooked rice
- 1 small head broccoli cut into florets
- 2 large chicken breasts cut into bite-size pieces
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1-2 teaspoons fresh ginger grated
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
- 1 cup water
- scallions chopped, to taste
- sesame seeds to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Cook rice according to package directions. Steam or boil broccoli until desired tenderness is reached. Chop the scallions.
- Meanwhile, prep your chicken and add it to a large ZipLoc bag along with the cornstarch. Toss until it's coated.
- Add the sauce ingredients (honey, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sriracha, water) to a small bowl and whisk together (it's ok if it doesn't perfectly mix).
- Add the oil to a skillet, along with the chicken. Give it a stir and cook it over medium-high heat for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is no longer pink on the outside.
- Pour the sauce into the skillet and reduce the heat to medium. Cook for a few more minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
- Divide the rice, broccoli, and chicken evenly among your four containers. Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds if you wish. I suggest reheating these bowls in the microwave.
Notes
- Handy trick: the ginger is much easier to grate if it's frozen. I always keep some fresh ginger in the freezer and I use my Microplane grater/zester to easily grate it. Ginger can be a bit spicy, so if you're concerned, start with 1 tsp of it and then add more once the chicken is cooked and you've tasted the sauce.
- These are the meal prep bowls pictured. If you prefer rectangular ones, try these.
- This recipe makes 4 reasonably-sized portions, but if you want larger portions, 3 may be more realistic. You could always add more rice or another chicken breast if you find it isn't enough to feed 4.
