Instructions

  1. Rinse the sticky rice until the water runs clear, then cook according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork and keep warm.
  2. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Toss with salt, pepper, chili powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, and oregano.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and sear until golden, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same pan, toss the broccoli with a splash of water and cook covered for a few minutes until bright green and just tender.
  5. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, sriracha, sesame oil, and ground ginger until smooth.
  6. Mix arrowroot powder with a tablespoon of cold water to form a slurry. Pour the sauce into the pan and stir in the slurry, simmer until thickened.
  7. Add the cooked chicken back to the pan and toss to coat until everything is sticky. Heat through for 1 to 2 minutes.
  8. Mix mayonnaise with sriracha and a pinch of salt. Serve on the side or drizzle over the finished bowls.
  9. Spoon sticky rice into bowls, top with broccoli and glazed chicken. Drizzle with spicy mayo and sprinkle sesame seeds. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

  1. Make sure to rinse the sticky rice to avoid gummy texture. You can use chicken thighs for a juicier option.
