Instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Honey Garlic Chicken Bowl
Step 1: Marinate & Grill the Chicken
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, garlic powder, and a pinch of black pepper until smooth.
-
Coat the chicken breast thoroughly with the mixture, letting it sit for 10–15 minutes (or longer if time allows). Grill or pan-sear the chicken on medium heat until golden, caramelized, and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Let it rest, then slice into thin strips.
Step 2: Cook the Green Beans
-
Steam or blanch the green beans for 4–6 minutes until they’re vibrant green and crisp-tender.
-
Toss the beans with olive oil, salt, and a bit of black pepper. You can also sauté them in a hot skillet for extra flavor and light browning if preferred.
Step 3: Prepare the Rice and Assemble
-
Cook the jasmine or basmati rice according to package directions. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
-
In a serving bowl, add a layer of rice, then top with the sliced honey garlic chicken and the green beans.
Notes
Cooking Note
• Chicken thickness affects cook time—pound it evenly for quicker, uniform cooking.
• Don’t overcrowd the pan if pan-searing—cook in batches if needed.
• Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing to retain its juices and tenderness.
