Ingredients
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, and honey to make a marinade.
Add chicken pieces to the marinade, toss to coat, and let sit for 10 minutes while prepping vegetables.
Heat a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken (with marinade) and cook, stirring frequently, until chicken is browned and cooked through, 8-10 minutes.
While chicken cooks, quickly blanch broccoli florets in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then drain and set aside. Prepare other veggies as described.
To assemble bowls, divide warm brown rice among 4 bowls. Top each with equal portions of cooked chicken, edamame, broccoli, and carrots.
Garnish each bowl with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds for texture and flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy a balanced, protein-packed bowl!
