chicken and broccoli white rice bowl

Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for a chicken and broccoli white rice bowl:

Ingredients

1 cup cooked white rice

1 cup broccoli florets

1 chicken breast (cut into bite-sized pieces)

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 cloves garlic (minced)

2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium recommended)

1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional for extra flavor)

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon honey or brown sugar (optional)

1/2 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Sliced green onions (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Cook the Rice

Cook white rice according to package instructions and set aside.

2. Prepare the Broccoli

Steam or blanch the broccoli florets for 2–3 minutes until tender but still crisp. Set aside.

3. Cook the Chicken

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the chicken pieces and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

4. Make the Sauce

In the same skillet, lower the heat and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds.

Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and honey. Mix well.

If you want a thicker sauce, mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of water, then add it to the sauce and stir until thickened.

5. Combine Everything

Add the chicken and broccoli back into the skillet. Toss everything in the sauce until well-coated.

6. Assemble the Bowl

Scoop the cooked white rice into a bowl. Top with the chicken and broccoli mixture.

Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.

Tips

You can substitute white rice with brown rice or cauliflower rice for a lower-calorie option.

Add some red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.

Enjoy your healthy and flavorful chicken and broccoli rice bowl!
