Ingredients
  

For the Marinade

  • ¼ cup soy sauce adds saltiness and umami
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar provides sweetness and caramelization
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic enhances flavor with a pungent kick
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger contributes warmth and spice

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts; cubed, serves as the protein base
  • 2 tablespoons oil divided; for cooking and ensuring moisture
  • 4 cups cooked jasmine rice provides a fluffy and fragrant base
  • 2 cups steamed broccoli adds crisp-tender texture and nutrition
  • Green onions for garnish, offering freshness
  • Sesame seeds for garnish, adding a nutty flavor

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Stir until the sugar begins to dissolve.
  • Place the cubed chicken in a zip-top bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag, ensuring the chicken is well coated with the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.

Cooking

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the marinated chicken to the pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes until cooked through.
  • Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set it on a plate. Add the remaining chicken to the skillet and cook until browned and fully cooked.

Assembly

  • Divide the cooked jasmine rice between two bowls.
  • Add the cooked chicken on top of the rice in each bowl, followed by spooning the steamed broccoli evenly over the chicken and rice.
  • Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions over each bowl before serving.

Notes

Allow the chicken to marinate for longer if possible for enhanced flavor. Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking. Adjust brown sugar based on your sweetness preference. Toast sesame seeds for added texture.
