Description
A delicious and easy-to-make Honey BBQ Chicken Rice Bowl perfect for dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup steamed broccoli (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix together honey, BBQ sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
- Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for better flavor.
- Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil to the skillet if using.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill or cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- While the chicken is cooking, prepare the rice and steam the broccoli if using.
- Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
- To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked rice among serving bowls, top with sliced chicken, and add steamed broccoli if desired.
- Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the marinade.
- You can substitute chicken thighs with chicken breasts or tofu for a vegetarian option.
