Sweet, savory, and slightly spicy sticky chicken served over fluffy rice and topped with crisp vegetables and a creamy sriracha mayo drizzle for a bold and satisfying bowl meal.

Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cups cooked white or jasmine rice
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • For the spicy mayo:
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken pieces, lightly season with salt and pepper, and cook for 6–8 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, sauté garlic and ginger for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Stir in soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 2–3 minutes.
  4. Whisk in the cornstarch slurry and cook until the sauce thickens.
  5. Return the chicken to the skillet and toss until evenly coated and glossy.
  6. Steam or sauté broccoli until tender-crisp.
  7. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, sriracha, lemon juice, and honey to make the spicy mayo.
  8. Divide rice among four bowls. Top with sticky chicken, broccoli, shredded carrots, and green onions.
  9. Drizzle with spicy mayo and sprinkle sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • Substitute chicken thighs for extra tenderness.
  • Use brown rice or quinoa for added texture.
  • Add cucumbers or shredded cabbage for extra crunch.
  • Increase sriracha or add chili oil for more heat.
  • Store components separately in airtight containers for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat rice and chicken before adding fresh toppings and spicy mayo.
