Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cooked rice
  • 1 lb chicken breast, diced
  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp ginger powder
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 tsp white or black pepper
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 can corn, drained
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Prepare 3 cups of cooked rice according to package instructions or using a rice cooker. Shred carrots and cabbage, drain corn, and chop cilantro and green onions. Set vegetables aside.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, minced garlic, ginger powder, brown sugar, honey, cornstarch, pepper, and water to make the sauce. Set aside.
  3. Pat dry and dice chicken breast into cubes. Heat vegetable oil in a medium to large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and sauté for 4-5 minutes until almost cooked through.
  4. Pour the sauce over the chicken, stir to coat, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until chicken is fully cooked and sauce has thickened. Remove from heat.
  5. Assemble bowls with cooked rice, topped with shredded cabbage, carrots, corn, cilantro, green onions, and the glazed chicken. Serve immediately.

Notes

For extra crunch, add sliced cucumbers or bell peppers. Use brown rice for more fiber. Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
