Ingredients
  

Chicken Marinade

  • 1.5 lbs chicken breasts cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil (or olive oil)
  • 2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Sriracha sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

One Pan Ingredients

  • 1 onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 large head broccoli cut into florets
  • 1 cup uncooked basmati rice
  • 3.75 cups low sodium chicken broth (or water)
  • 0.5 tsp Italian dried herb blend

Honey Garlic Sauce

  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tsp Sriracha sauce
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tsp ginger minced
  • 2.5 tbsp honey

Garnish

  • diced scallions
  • toasted sesame seeds

Instructions
 

Chicken Marinade

  • In a bowl, combine chicken cubes with sesame oil, soy sauce, Sriracha, and garlic powder. Cover and marinate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

One Pan Preparation

  • Heat a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned.
  • Make an empty space in the center of the skillet. Add a little more oil if needed, then add the diced onion and sauté for 2 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Add the broccoli florets, uncooked basmati rice, and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir everything together with the chicken and bring to a boil.
  • Cover the skillet, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. If the rice isn't cooked and the liquid has evaporated, add a little more broth or water.

Honey Garlic Sauce

  • While the rice is cooking, whisk together the toasted sesame oil, soy sauce, Sriracha, minced garlic, minced ginger, and honey in a small bowl. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  • Once the rice is cooked, pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken and rice mixture. Stir to combine. Garnish with diced scallions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add extra Sriracha to the sauce. If you prefer less spice, you can omit it entirely. This dish is best served immediately but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
