Ingredients

(Tip: You can find the complete list of ingredients and their measurements in the recipe card below.)

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, divided

  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced into 1-inch pieces

  • 2 large eggs

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 head broccoli, cut into small florets

  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice

  • 2 green onions, sliced (optional)

  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)

Honey Sriracha Sauce

  • ½ cup ketchup

  • ½ cup honey

  • ⅓ cup Sriracha

  • ½ teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Preheat and prepare coating. Preheat the oven to 425 °F. In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs. In another bowl, place the flour.

  2. Bread the chicken. Dip each piece of chicken into the beaten eggs, then coat evenly with flour, shaking off any excess.

  3. First bake. Lightly grease a large baking sheet with half of the olive oil. Arrange the chicken pieces in a single layer and bake for 10 minutes.

  4. Add broccoli. Remove the baking sheet, flip the chicken pieces, and add the broccoli florets to the empty half. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the broccoli and season with salt and pepper. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the broccoli is tender.

  5. Make the sauce. While the chicken bakes, whisk together ketchup, honey, Sriracha, and salt in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 2 minutes, stirring halfway through, until slightly thickened.

  6. Toss and assemble. Transfer the baked chicken to a large bowl, pour the warm sauce over it, and toss until evenly coated. Divide the cooked rice among four bowls, top with sauced chicken and roasted broccoli, and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

FAQs

What internal temperature should the chicken reach?

The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165 °F to ensure it is fully cooked.

Can I use a different grain instead of jasmine rice?

Yes. Brown rice, quinoa, farro, or even cauliflower rice can be used as alternatives.

Is it possible to make this recipe vegetarian?

You can substitute firm tofu for the chicken. Press and cube the tofu, then follow the same breading and baking steps.

How do I adjust the spice level of the sauce?

To reduce heat, use less Sriracha or add extra honey or ketchup. To increase heat, add more Sriracha or a pinch of red pepper flakes.

What side dishes go well with these bowls?

Roasted sweet potatoes, steamed edamame, a simple green salad, or pickled vegetables all complement these bowls.

Yes. Air-fry at 400 °F for about 8–10 minutes for the chicken, then add broccoli and air-fry for another 5–7 minutes.

How long does the sauce keep in the refrigerator?

The sauce can be stored in a sealed container for up to one week.

Can I double this recipe?
