Ingredients

For the Bowls

1 tablespoon vegetable oil divided use
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
salt and pepper to taste
3 cups mixed raw vegetables such as broccoli, carrots, snow peas, bell peppers and mushrooms
4 cups white rice cooked
2 teaspoons sesame seeds

For the Sauce

1/4 cup soy sauce low sodium
1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon corn starch

Instructions

For the Bowls

Heat a pan or grill over medium high heat. Place 2 teaspoons of oil in the pan or brush the oil onto the grill.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper to taste.
Place the chicken in the pan or on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until chicken is cooked through. Remove from the pan or grill and cover to keep warm.
Add the remaining teaspoon of oil to the pan or brush on the grill grates. Add the vegetables and cook for 4-5 minutes or until they're tender. Season the veggies with salt and pepper to taste.

For the Sauce

Place the soy sauce, water, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, honey and sesame oil in a small pan over medium heat. Bring the ingredients to a simmer.
Whisk the corn starch with 2 tablespoons of cold water until dissolved. Slowly add the corn starch mixture to the sauce and boil for 1 minute or until sauce has thickened, stirring occasionally.

For Assembly

Cut the chicken into bite sized pieces. Pour the sauce over the chicken and toss to coat.
Divide the rice between 4 bowls. Place the chicken and vegetables on top of the rice. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, then serve.

Notes

You really can use any type of cooked chicken in this dish, I prefer to grill mine but you can also bake it or sear it on the stove top. In a pinch you can even use diced or shredded leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken!
You can prepare the individual components of the dish in advance, then just reheat and combine everything when you’re ready to eat.
