Instructions
1-Getting started: Getting started with this chicken broccoli bowls recipe is easy and fun, with the whole process taking about 30 minutes from start to finish. Begin by preheating your oven to 425Β°F, which helps everything cook evenly and quickly. This method keeps things simple for home cooks, turning basic ingredients into a tasty, well-balanced dish in no time.
2-First, coat the 24 ounces of diced chicken breasts with the beaten egg white, then toss them in 2 tablespoons of corn starch, and season with 3/4 teaspoon of the salt. Spray a large nonstick sheet pan with olive oil spray to avoid sticking, and arrange the chicken on one side of the pan before baking for 10 minutes.
3-Next, remove the pan from the oven, flip the chicken pieces, and add the broccoli florets to the other half. Drizzle the broccoli with 2 teaspoons of sesame oil, season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and a bit of pepper, then bake for another 10 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the broccoli is tender. While thatβs happening, whisk together the sauce by mixing 2 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons sriracha, 1 teaspoon seasoned rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil in a bowl.
4-Once baked, toss the chicken in the prepared sauce for that irresistible honey sriracha flavor. Divide the chicken, broccoli, and 2 cups of cooked brown rice into four bowls, then top with the sliced scallions and sesame seeds.
