Spicy Ginger Chicken Bowls
Chicken tenders sautéed in a spicy and tangy ginger chicken sauce, served over a warm bowl of rice and broccoli.
- Total Time: 30
Ingredients
2 tbsp olive oil
1 lb chicken tenders, cubed
1/3 cup soy sauce
2 tbsp honey
2 tsp sesame oil
2 inch piece of ginger, peeled and minced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp 5 spice powder
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tbsp corn starch
1 shallot, thinly sliced
1 head of broccoli, chopped (or 1 cup of chopped broccoli)
Instructions
- Start by making your spicy ginger sauce: Pour soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced ginger and garlic, 5 spice, red pepper flakes and corn starch into a bowl. Whisk together until combined and set aside. Now, start making your rice and chicken.
- Next, cook rice in a small sauce pan according to the package instructions. Once rice is prepped and cooking, start cooking the chicken.
- Pour oil in a skillet over medium heat, and cook chicken tender nuggets for 4-5 minutes on each side, until cooked through. Internal temperature should reach 165°F. Remove from heat and pour chicken into a paper towel-lined bowl.
- In a new skillet, over medium heat, sauté shallots and broccoli until they start to become a little tender. Pour chicken back into the pan and then pour your sauce over the chicken, reducing heat to simmer and thicken for about 8-10 minutes.
- Assemble a bowl with rice and put a heaping scoop of chicken and broccoli over the rice and top with chopped green onions, red pepper flakes, and slivered almonds.
