Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 cup jasmine rice

2 cups water or chicken broth

1 cup broccoli florets

1 cup bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 cup shredded carrots

1 green onion, thinly sliced (for garnish)

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

For the Yum Yum Sauce:

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon ketchup

1 teaspoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1 tablespoon sugar

Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sriracha. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for enhanced flavor.

    Prepare the Rice: Rinse jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a saucepan, combine rice and water (or chicken broth) and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes or until the rice is tender. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for another 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

      Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserving the marinade) and add it to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until the chicken is beautifully caramelized and cooked through. Pour in the reserved marinade, allowing it to simmer and thicken for a couple of minutes. Ensure the chicken is well coated.

        Steam the Vegetables: In another pot, steam broccoli, bell pepper, and carrots until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes. You can also sauté them briefly in the same skillet after cooking the chicken.

          Make Yum Yum Sauce: While the chicken is cooking, in a small bowl, stir together mayonnaise, ketchup, rice vinegar, garlic powder, paprika, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth and well combined.

            Assemble the Bowls: To serve, divide the cooked jasmine rice into bowls. Slice the chicken thighs and place them on top of the rice. Arrange the steamed veggies beside the chicken. Drizzle a generous amount of Yum Yum sauce over the bowl. Garnish with sliced green onion and sesame seeds.

              Enjoy Your Meal: Serve immediately, savoring the delicious combination of spicy, sweet, and savory flavors!
