Ingredients
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
3 cups cooked jasmine rice
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup sliced cucumber
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
2 green onions, sliced
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
For the Creamy Lime Sauce: 1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sour cream or Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon lime zest
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce
Salt to taste
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, chili garlic sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger until smooth and well combined.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and fully cooked through.
- Pour the honey glaze over the cooked chicken and let it simmer for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the chicken. Remove from heat.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream or Greek yogurt, lime juice, lime zest, honey, chili garlic sauce, and salt until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Divide the cooked jasmine rice among serving bowls. Top with glazed chicken, shredded carrots, cucumber slices, red bell pepper, and green onions.
- Drizzle the creamy lime sauce over each bowl and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
Swap jasmine rice with brown rice or cauliflower rice for a lighter option.
Add steamed broccoli, edamame, or shredded cabbage for extra vegetables and crunch.
For more heat, add extra chili garlic sauce or a drizzle of sriracha.
Store chicken, rice, vegetables, and sauce separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
If the sauce thickens in the refrigerator, stir in a small splash of water or lime juice before serving.
